We want to factor out the coefficient of the variable term — 3.5. Let's rewrite each term as a product of 3.5 and some other factor. To do so, note that 42 is 12 times 3.5.
1{42 &= {\color{#FD9000}{3.5}} \cdot 12 \\[0.5em]
3.5h &= {\color{#FD9000}{3.5}} \cdot h }
Now we can use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
