Answer:

Doesn't factor

Explanation:

We have a polynomial and are asked to factor it.

A rule I like to follow when factoring polynomials is what two numbers multiply to equal c (in this case -2) and add up to b (in this case -6x).

Since no two numbers are eligible to do this, therefore this polynomial is unfactorable.
