Factor the expression:3x squared - 6x?

3x(x-2)

= 3x² - 6x
= 3x(x - 2)

Answer: 3x(x - 2)

3x^2 - 6x
= 3x(x) - 3x(2)
= 3x(x - 2)

3x² - 6x
= 3x(x - 2)

Done

3x^2 - 6x = 3(x^2 -2x)

There is also an x in both terms so this can come outside the bracket as well

This gives 3x( x - 2)
which is the simplest factorised form of the expression

Find the highest common multiple which is 3. But x is also a factor in both so we'll factor that out. The ending result is

3x(x-2)
