Please help me with this question

Answer 1

Answer: B) The expression is equivalent, but is not completely factored

Explanation:

Answer 2

2nd answer : it is equivalent but not completely factored

Explanation:

the "pulling out" of 3 as factor was completely correct.

but

3(x² - 4) can be further factored.

remember :

(a + b)(a - b) = (a² - b²)

therefore,

(x² - 4) = (x + 2)(x - 2)

and then

3(x + 2)(x - 2)

would be a complete factorization.
