Answer: 3(6a1)
You can first collect like terms:
12a and 6a are alike, with a behind both of them. So we can add them together:
(12a)+(6a)=18a
What is left behind is a -3
So the full equation after collecting like terms is: 18a3
We can factor out a 3 from the new equation by deviding each term by 3.
18a333
So after factoring we get: 3(6a1)
