It's a bit hard to give you a nice hint, but I'll say that a factor of 2 can be factored out.

What you've written is ambiguous and there could be something missing there, otherwise there is nothing to factorise.

Definitely written correctly
You've put 6x^+2, this is not written correctly. You are missing a power. Your equation means 6x to the power of plus two.

Ignore above posters - there is a common factor of 2, it can be factorised.
