Answer:

c. x + 6

Explanation:

The factorization is ...

x(x -3)(x -6)

The factor on the list that is not part of the above expression is (x +6).

_____

More detail

Factoring x from each term gives ...

x(x^2 -9x +18)

Now, you're looking for factors of 18 that sum to -9. We know that 18=(-3)(-6) and that -3-6 = -9, so the remaining two factors are (x-3)(x-6).

= x(x -3)(x -6)
