Factor (b+3)-c(b+3)

$(b + 3) - c (b + 3)$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$b + 3 - c b - c \cdot 3$

Step 2

Multiply $3$ by $- 1$ .

$b + 3 - c b - 3 c$

Step 3

Rewrite $b + 3 - c b - 3 c$ in a factored form.

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(b + 3) - c b - 3 c$

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

$1 (b + 3) - c (b + 3)$

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $b + 3$ .

$(b + 3) (1 - c)$
