1. Factor out the greatest common factor from both terms:
2(3x + 1)^6
2. Write the remaining expression:
2(3x + 1)^6 \left( (3x + 1) - 8x \right)
3. Simplify inside the parenthesis:
2(3x + 1)^6 \left( 3x + 1 - 8x \right) = 2(3x + 1)^6 \left( 1 - 5x \right)
4. The final answer is:
2(3x + 1)^6 \left( 1 - 5x \right)
