Answer:

3x(4−7y)

Explanation:

Hi there!

12x−21xy

12 and 21 are both divisible by 3. Factor 3 out of the expression:

= 3(4x−7xy)

The terms 4x and 7xy both contain x. Let's factor this out:

= 3x(4−7y)

Because the terms inside of the brackets have no more common factors remaining, this expression is now fully factored.

I hope this helps!
