You can take out $x^2$ out of each term to get $x^2(x-3)$ .

If you're having a bit of difficulty visualizing this, here's a bit of help:
$(x^2*x)-(x^2*3)$
$x^2(x-3)$

$x^3-3x^2=x^2(x-3)$

Factor:

$x^3-3x^2$

The greatest factor that divides evenly into both terms is $x^2$ . Factor out the greatest common factor $x^2$ .

$x^2(x-3)$
