Multiple Choice

A logistics coordinator is simplifying a formula used to calculate shipping rate adjustments: y2y−6−2y+24y−6\frac{y^2}{y-6} - \frac{2y+24}{y-6}. After correctly combining the numerators and distributing the negative sign to obtain the trinomial y2−2y−24y^2 - 2y - 24, the coordinator must factor the expression to complete the simplification. Which of the following represents the correct factorization the coordinator should recall to identify the common factor?
