Question

Factor completely-12y-24

Answer 1

-12y - 24

-12(y + 2)       is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

=-12y-24
Both can be divided by -12, so factor out -12 from each. Your goal is to find the highest common factor in each.
=-12(y+2)

To check your answer distribute the number factored out into (y+2):
=(-12*y) +(-12*2)
=-12y-24 back to original equation

So your answer is: -12(y+2)

Hope this helps!! :)
