Question is not complete, so i have attached it.

Answer:

B: -2x² - 6x² - 6x + 3x + 3 + 2

Explanation:

From the image attached, the given polynomial is;

3 - 6x - 2x² + 3x - 6x² + 2

For like terms to be next to each other, we have to rearrange it as follows;

-2x² - 6x² - 6x + 3x + 3 + 2

Like terms are x² and x, thus they are now arranged next to each other.

The only option that corresponds to our answer is option B
