Question 85932
<pre>
Factor. {{{-12x^3+36x^2}}}

Take out {{{-12x^2}}}

{{{-12x^2(x-3)}}}

That's a correct answer.

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

However, you could also do it this way:

{{{-12x^3+36x^2}}}

Take out {{{12x^2}}}

{{{12x^2(-x+3)}}}

{{{12x^2(3-x)}}}

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

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