we are given, 3 $x^{3}$ $x^3$ $+$ $+$ 2 $x^{2}$ $x^2$ $+$ $+$ 3 $x$ $x$ $+$ $+$ 2

on rearrangement:

$=$ $=$ 3 $x^{3}$ $x^3$ $+$ $+$ 3 $x$ $x$ $+$ $+$ 2 $x^{2}$ $x^2$ $+$ $+$ 2

The first two terms have 3 $x$ $x$ in common and the last two terms have 2 in common:

taking out the common terms:
$=$ $=$ 3 $x$ $x$ ( $x^{2}$ $x^2$ + 1) $+$ $+$ 2 ( $x^{2}$ $x^2$ $+$ $+$ 1)

making groups of two:
$=$ $=$ (3 $x$ $x$ $+$ $+$ 2) ( $x^{2}$ $x^2$ $+$ $+$ 1 )
