To factor the given expression x^2 + (x - 3) + 6, we must find two numbers whose sum is -(x - 3), and whose product is 6 * (x^2 + (x - 3) + 6).
Expanding the expression gives us:
x^2 + x - 3 + 6
Combining like terms, the expression can be simplified to:
x^2 + x + 3
So, the factors are:
(x + 1)(x + 3)
Therefore, the correct answer is C. x(x+1).
