That doesn't factor neatly. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two real solutions: (8 plus or minus the square root of 10) divided by 3

x = 3.720759220056127

x = 1.6125741132772067

Turn it around for my convenience first.

2X^3 + 12X^2 + 18X

factor out 2X

2X(X^2 +6X + 9)

factor the quadratic polynomial

2X(X + 3)^2

0r

2X(X + 3)(X + 3)

I think there's something missing here, but as written that's 26x - 4x^3 which factors to -2x(2x^2 - 13)
