Answer: 3(r - 2)

Step-by-step explanation: First, determine the Greatest Common Factor between the different terms in the polynomial.

The Greatest Common Factor between 3r and 6 is 3.

So a 3 factors out.

Inside the parenthses, we are left with each term divided by 3.

So we have 3(r - 2) as our final answer.
