Answer

$(2x+3)(3x+2)$

Work Step by Step

Group the first two terms together; then, group the last two terms together to obtain: $=(6x^2+9x) + (4x+6)$ Factor out the GCF of each group ($3x$ in the first and $2$ in the second): $=3x(2x+3) +2(2x+3)$ Factor out the GCF $(2x+3)$ to obtain: $=(2x+3)(3x+2)$
