To factorize the expression 7x - 42, we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.

The two terms in the expression are 7x and 42.
The GCF of 7x and 42 is 7, because 7 is the largest number that divides both 7 and 42 evenly.
Now, we factor out the GCF (7) from both terms:

7x - 42 = 7(x - 6)

Thus, the factorized form of 7x - 42 is:

7(x - 6)
