Answer 1

To factor the expression \(6x + 18x^2\) by finding the greatest common factor (GCF), we first identify the GCF of the two terms.

The terms are:

• \(6x\)
• \(18x^2\)

The GCF of \(6x\) and \(18x^2\) is \(6x\).

Now, we factor \(6x\) out of the expression:

\[ 6x + 18x^2 = 6x(1 + 3x) \]

So the correct factored form of the expression is:

\[ 6x(1 + 3x) \]

Thus, the answer is: 6x (1 + 3x)
