The problem asks us to factor the expression $18 - 12x$.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to factor the expression $18 - 12x$.

2. Solution Steps

First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 18 and

1

2. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and

1

8. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and

1

2. The greatest common factor of 18 and 12 is

6.

Now, factor out the GCF (6) from the expression $18 - 12x$.

$18 - 12x = 6(3 - 2x)$

3. Final Answer

The factored form of the expression $18 - 12x$ is $6(3 - 2x)$.
