Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]-3x - 9[/tex]

Required

Factorize

The options are not given; So, I'll answer on a general term

[tex]-3x - 9[/tex]

Express -9 as -3 * 3

[tex]-3x - 9 = -3x - 3 * 3[/tex]

Then factorize 3 out of the expression as:

[tex]-3x - 9 = 3(-x - 3)[/tex]

Another way is to factor -3 out of the expression as:

[tex]-3x - 9 = -3x - 3 * 3[/tex]

[tex]-3x - 9 = -3(x + 3)[/tex]
