SOLUTION: I need help with this problem, I am evidently missing a step.
Here is the problem:
3x^2(r + 3s) -6y^2(r + 3s)
The answer in the book is: 3(r + 3s)(x^2 - 2y^2)

Question 6253: I need help with this problem, I am evidently missing a step.
Here is the problem:
3x^2(r + 3s) -6y^2(r + 3s)
The answer in the book is: 3(r + 3s)(x^2 - 2y^2)
I can not figure out how this is the answer, will you please show each step.
Thanks.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do you see that you have TWO common factors here? There is a common factor of 3 and also a common factor of (r+3s). Take out ALL common factors:
3(r+3x)(____+____) , where what is left in the first position is , and in the second
