Factor completely. - 3 x 2 + 6 x + 9 = - 3x 2 + 6x+9=minus, 3, x, squared, plus, 6, x, plus, 9, equals

-3 (x-3) (x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3 x ^2 + 6 x + 9

Factor out - 3

-3 (x^2 - 2x-3)

The terms inside the parentheses can be factored

What 2 numbers multiplies to - 3 and adds to - 2

-3*1 = - 3

-3+1 = -2

-3 (x-3) (x+1)
