To factor the expression $-27h + 6$ using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to find the GCF of the coefficients $-27$ and $6$. 1. The factors of $-27$ are: $-1, -3, -9, -27, 1, 3, 9, 27$. 2. The factors of $6$ are: $-1, -2, -3, -6, 1, 2, 3, 6$. The GCF of $-27$ and $6$ is $3$. Next, we factor out $3$ from the expression: $$ -27h + 6 = 3(-9h + 2) $$ Thus, the factored form of the expression is: $$ 3(-9h + 2) $$ So, the correct response is: **3(−9h + 2)**.
