To simplify the expression \( 18x^2 - 12x + 63x \), we first combine like terms.

  1. Combine the \( -12x \) and \( +63x \): \[ -12x + 63x = 51x \]

  2. Now the expression is: \[ 18x^2 + 51x \]

  3. Next, we can factor out the common factor, which is 3: \[ 3(6x^2 + 17x) \]

Now we check the options provided:

  • None of the options seem to match the simplified expression directly.
  • However, we can also express the factored form but it does not correspond directly to any of the options either.

Thus, the correct approach would yield \( 3(6x^2 + 17x) \), which doesn't match any provided option.

If you would like to choose the closest match based on provided response options:

  • None actually match \( 3(6x^2 + 17x) \).

If there is another consideration in response options or if there's a typographical error in one of the listed options, it would be vital to recheck or refine the question.
