The GCF is the common term among all of the terms. They are asking you to factor out the largest number you can from the original equation.

anonymous · Answer

Okay so its been a very long time since I have done factoring. could you help explain steps in order to figure this problem out please?

anonymous · Answer

In this case all 3 terms have a -2x in them so you can factor out a -2x leaving 
-2x(x2 +2x -2)

anonymous · Answer

Basically you divide each term by the largest term in each term in the original equation.

Yeah i see that now, thank you!
