Multiple Choice

An inventory manager is following the standard procedure to solve the radical equation q2+3=4q+1\sqrt{q - 2} + 3 = \sqrt{4q + 1} to determine a reorder quantity qq. After performing the necessary squaring steps and rearranging the terms, the manager arrives at the quadratic equation $9q^2 - 72q + 108 = 0$. According to the solution procedure, which specific greatest common factor (GCF) should be factored out of this equation before solving the trinomial?
