Answer:

B. 2 +3x

Explanation:

The greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6:

12 = 6×2

18 = 6×3

The greatest common factor of x² and x is x². Factoring out the greatest common factors, we have ...

12x² +18x³ = 6x²(2 +3x)

The factors are 6x² or (2 +3x). The last of these is an answer choice.

2 +3x is a factor
