Mara carried water bottles to the field to share with her team at halftime. The water bottles weighed a total of 60x2 + 48x + 24 ounces.

Which factorization could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle?

6(10x2 + 8x + 2)
12(5x2 + 4x + 2)
6x(10x2 + 8x + 2)
12x(5x2 + 4x + 2)

Thoughts? As a hint I can eliminate choices C and D because you cannot factor out x (notice how the last term is 24, which lacks an x)

Try to find the GCF of 60x^2 , 48x, and 24, then factor that out of the expression
