I am trying to factor 18x^2+12+12+8. I am down to the step of finding the GCF of each group, (18x^2+12) and (12+8). The GCF for the second group is 4. But I am lost on how to do the GCF for the first group so that I can finish factoring this expression. Would it be 6x(x+12) or 6x^2(x+12) or something completely different? Someone please help! Thanks.
