a⋅(b-2)=3b

Question

$$-3b-b^{2}-2b^{2}$$

Factor

$-3b\left(b+1\right)$

Solution Steps

Factor out $b$.

$$b\left(-3-b-2b\right)$$

Consider $-3-b-2b$. Multiply and combine like terms.

$$-3b-3$$

Consider $-3b-3$. Factor out $3$.

$$3\left(-b-1\right)$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$3b\left(-b-1\right)$$

Evaluate

$-3b\left(b+1\right)$
