She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.
Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).
Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6
In this problem, given the focus at (2,4) and directrix at y = 8. then it is implied that the parabola is facing downwards. The vertex hence is at the middle of the focus and the directrix, hence at (2, 6). The general formula of the parabola is y-k = -4a ( x-h)^2. Substituting, y -6 = -1/8 *(x-2)^2. Answer is A.
