You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To solve this first multiply the coefficient of each term:
then the new function becomes: 18XYZ+12XZ-36XYZ
NOW TAKE THE COMMON FACTOR: 6XZ(3Y+2-6y)
NOW THIS CAN BE SIMPLIFIED MORE: 6XZ(2-3Y)
FINALLY, YOU CAN DO THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY AGAIN TO GET THE ANSWER:
YOUR FINAL ANSWER WILL BE: 12XZ-18XYZ
