Hii!

____________________________________________________________

Answer:

Below is all the info you need! ^^

Explanation:

Note that both terms, 3x^2 and -6x, have something in common. This "something" is called the greatest common factor, or g.c.f.

The g.c.f. of 3x^2-6x is 3x, so we divide both 3x^2 and -6x by 3x.

We obtain

x-2

Put parentheses around x-2

(x-2)

Put 3x outside the parentheses

3x(x-2)

Successfully Factored! ^-^
