Recall that the GCF of two ( or more numbers) is the highest number that divides exactly the two numbers.

11.- Notice that:

$\begin{gathered} 24=3\cdot8, \\ 9=3\cdot3. \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$9-24=3(8-3)\text{.}$

12.- Notice that.

$\begin{gathered} 14x=7\cdot2x, \\ 63=7\cdot9. \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$14x+63=7(2x+9)\text{.}$

Answer:

11.-

$3(8-3)\text{.}$

12.-

$7(2x+9)\text{.}$
