What is the GCF of the ierms of the polynomiar -16 y+12 y-6 y [ ( GCF )= ]

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the polynomial \(-16y + 12y - 6y\), we first simplify the expression by combining like terms:<br /><br />\[<br />-16y + 12y - 6y = (-16 + 12 - 6)y = -10y<br />\]<br /><br />Now, we need to find the GCF of the coefficients of the simplified term \(-10y\). The coefficient is \(-10\).<br /><br />The factors of \(-10\) are \(1, 2, 5, 10\) (and their negative counterparts, but we consider positive factors for GCF).<br /><br />The GCF of the coefficients is \(10\).<br /><br />Therefore, the GCF of the terms of the polynomial is:<br /><br />\[<br />\text{GCF} = 10<br />\]
