Factor the expression completely
3x^2−12x
To factor the expression 3x^2 - 12x completely, we can begin by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms 3x^2 and -12x. The GCF of 3x^2 and -12x is 3x.
Now, we can factor out this GCF 3x from both terms:
3x^2 / (3x) = x
-12x / (3x) = -4
So, the factored form of the expression 3x^2 - 12x is:
3x(x - 4)
