Answer:

D. 2(3x - 5)²

Explanation:

18x² - 60x + 50

The expression can be factorize as follows;

18x² - 60x + 50

divide through by 2

2(9x² - 30x + 25)

The bracket equation can be factorized further

Find the square value that can be multiplied to get 9x² and 25

The values are 3x and 5

2( (3x- 5)(3x - 5) )

2(3x - 5)²
