Question

$$3nx-3x-3ny+3y$$

Factor

$3\left(n-1\right)\left(x-y\right)$

Solution Steps

Factor out $3$.

$$3\left(nx-x-ny+y\right)$$

Consider $nx-x-ny+y$. Do the grouping $nx-x-ny+y=\left(nx-x\right)+\left(-ny+y\right)$, and factor out $x$ in the first and $-y$ in the second group.

$$x\left(n-1\right)-y\left(n-1\right)$$

Factor out common term $n-1$ by using distributive property.

$$\left(n-1\right)\left(x-y\right)$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$3\left(n-1\right)\left(x-y\right)$$

Evaluate

$3\left(n-1\right)\left(x-y\right)$
