Factor. -12x%5E3%2B36x%5E2

Take out -12x%5E2

-12x%5E2%28x-3%29

That's a correct answer.

---------------------------------------

However, you could also do it this way:

-12x%5E3%2B36x%5E2

Take out 12x%5E2

12x%5E2%28-x%2B3%29

12x%5E2%283-x%29

It is one character shorter when you write it this way.

Take your pick, or ask your teacher which way he or she
prefers.
