Hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

Answer:

$6(3m-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the expression:

$18m - 12$

and we can express the number 18 by its factors like this:

$18=6*3$

and also the number 12:

$12=6*2$

so in both numbers we have a common factor of 6:

$6*3m-6*2$

So we can factor the given expression by taking out the 6 of each coefficient, and we get the following:

$6(3m-2)$

which is the fourth option.
