(-2) * (x^3 - 3x^2)

Answer 8

−x(2x2 − 6x)
2x(−x2 + 3x)
−2x2(x − 3)
Prime

those are the coices

Answer 10

For the variable part, if every term has the common variable, you can pull out the smallest power

Answer 11

−x(2x^2 − 6x)
2x(−x^2 + 3x)
−2x^2(x − 3)
Prime

Pull out an x^2, and divide the remaining by that

Answer 13

(-2x^2)(x - 3)
