x+14

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
