Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]D.\:\left(x-3\right)\left(x+6\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2 + 3x - 18[/tex]

[tex]\left(x^2-3x\right)+\left(6x-18\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(x^2-3x\right):x\left(x-3\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(6x-18\right):6\left(x-3\right)[/tex]

[tex]x\left(x-3\right)+6\left(x-3\right)[/tex]

Factor, common term:- x-3

[tex]\left(x-3\right)\left(x+6\right)[/tex]
