usukidoll · Answer

to check if you have factor correctly, all you have to do is use the distributive property and multiply the 6

6(x-3) 
6(x) + 6(-3)
6x-18

usukidoll · Answer

to factor, we have to take out a common number and we have six because 

6x - 6(3)
since each term has 6, we pull it out and now it's factored
6(x-3)

anonymous · Answer

oh okay

usukidoll · Answer

18 = 6 x 3 . that's how I split the 18 up
