Answer:

u(12-v)

Explanation:

12u and -uv both have a factor of u in common, so we can pull it out to give us the factored expression u(12-v).

Note on factoring:

Remember, it's just using the distributive property in reverse! We can get our original expression back by distributing the u to the 12 and the -v.
