Answer is B

Answer 2

Answer:

b) 2(x-6)(x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+6x-108

Factor out the 2, common factor!!!

2 (x^2 +3x -54)

Now time to factor, what to numbers multiply to get -54 and add to get 3

6,9 look good

what combination???

9,-6 because 9-6 = 3 and 9x-6=-54

so

2(x-6)(x+9)

From what I'm use to you put the 2 back in by dividing the numbers but in this case you dont need to.
