Answer:

6(x + 6)

Explanation:

To factor, we take the original equation

6x + 36

and we look at each term for a common factor. In this case we see that 6 will go evenly into each term. We move the 6 in front of the parentheses

6( __ +__ )

and we ask ourselves, what can I put in the blanks that, when multiplied by 6, will give me the original problem? We can see that 6(x + 6) does that.

Answer: B) 6(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation: You can expand using a common factor. 6 * x equals 6x, and 6 * 6 equals 36. Together, they make up 6x + 36.
