i've been trying to work through my math assignment and i'm stuck on certain questions. How would you do these??(If i put ^ before an # its an exponent)
1. b^2 - b - 63
2. 3x(y - z) -2(y - z)
3. (y^2 - y) (-xy - x)
If you could help...it'd be appriciated
1. b^2 - b - 63
2. 3x(y - z) -2(y - z)
3. (y^2 - y) (-xy - x)

1. b^2 - b - 63 doesn't factor in rational numbers.
2. 3x(y - z) -2(y - z)
Factor out the common factor (or use the distributive property, depending on how you look at it):
(y - z) (3x - 2)
3. (y^2 - y) (-xy - x)
Factor out the common factors:
y (y - 1) (-x) (y + 1)
I don't understand the additional question.
2. 3x(y - z) -2(y - z)
Factor out the common factor (or use the distributive property, depending on how you look at it):
(y - z) (3x - 2)
3. (y^2 - y) (-xy - x)
Factor out the common factors:
y (y - 1) (-x) (y + 1)
