At which step are you lost?

tribal grotto
#

->
-->

#

-4+12 to -4(x-3)

#

And to x²-4

urban bane
#

It was -4x+12

tribal grotto
#

Oh yes

#

Sorry

urban bane
#

So the -4 can be factored

tribal grotto
#

But not that I mean

urban bane
#

As for the x^2-4, you can see that there are two parts of the expression, x^2(x-3) and -4(x-3)

#

x-3 is a common factor so that can be factored out as well

tribal grotto
#

We can change -4x+12 to 2(-2x+ 6)

urban bane
#

Yes but you can still factorise it

tribal grotto
#

Slash?

#

"division"

urban bane
#

?

tribal grotto
#

÷

urban bane

What are you saying
