You're welcome.

To simplify the expression (-144y) / (-24), you can follow these steps:

1. Simplify the numerator (-144y) by dividing each term by the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficient and the variable. In this case, the GCF is 24.

-144y divided by 24 equals -6y.

2. Simplify the denominator (-24) by dividing it by the GCF.

-24 divided by 24 equals -1.

3. Simplify the entire expression by writing the simplified numerator over the simplified denominator.

(-144y) / (-24) simplifies to -6y / -1.

Now, let's simplify -6y / -1:

Dividing a number by -1 is the same as multiplying it by -1. So, -6y divided by -1 is the same as -6y multiplied by -1.

-6y multiplied by -1 equals 6y.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6y.

Hence, the correct simplification of (-144y) / (-24) is 6y, not just 6.
