Answer:
6(2x-5)
Explanation:
Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
1 What is the largest number that divides evenly into 12x12x and -30−30?
It is 66.
2 What is the highest degree of xx that divides evenly into 12x12x and -30−30?
It is 1, since xx is not in every term.
3 Multiplying the results above,
The GCF is 66.
Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
6(\frac{12x}{6}-\frac{30}{6})

3 Simplify each term in parentheses.
