To factor out completely, we should have reached the most simplified form, first we should take out 2. 2(x2 - 3x - 18) then we should factor out the inside of the parenthesis, 2(x - 6)(x + 3) And that's the most simplified and factored out form.
The final answer is then the second option, <span>2(x − 6)(x + 3)</span>
