So,

3x + 14 + 3x + 10

Let's put the placeholders together to make it simpler.

3x + 3x + 14 + 10

Collect Like Terms
6x + 24

This is simplified.

Option D, when multiplied, gives 6x + 24.  So that is the correct option.
3x + 14 + 3x + 10
First step: combine like terms...
6x + 24
Now, extract 6...
6(x+4)
This works because  6x/6=x and 24/6=4
Your answer is D

Hope this helped!
