    Here are just three examples I came up with:

    -9 (2 + 3)

    or

    -3 (6 + 9)

    or

    - (18 + 27)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To come up with these expressions, I found common factors between the numbers - 18 and - 27. Then, I factored the numbers with the common factor (the common number is the number outside of the parentheses.) When you distribute any of the expressions above, you will find they they can be simplified to - 18 - 27, which is the same as - 18 + (-27).

    if you simplify it give you that because they are both as small as they can be
