17 is in the thousandths place, so we write it as a fraction over 1000.
17/1000
So we have:
46 17/1000
Hey there!
36y - 12
FIRST LOOK AT THE GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
36y: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, and y
12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12
GCF: 12
So, 12 would most likely be number before you make your parentheses
12(?y - 1)
The numbers in your original equation both share 3 & -1
So, therefore the factor form of your equation should be: 12(3y - 1)
Answer: 12(3y - 1)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
