Factor Expression A6Dc69

1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$3x - 6$$ or factor it if possible. 2. **Formula and rules:** To factor an expression, look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms. 3. **Find the GCF:** The terms are $$3x$$ and $$-6$$. The GCF is $$3$$. 4. **Factor out the GCF:** $$3x - 6 = 3(x - 2)$$ 5. **Explanation:** We took $$3$$ out of both terms. Inside the parentheses, $$3x \div 3 = x$$ and $$-6 \div 3 = -2$$. 6. **Final answer:** The factored form is $$3(x - 2)$$.
