you should specify if you want a * 2b or a^2 * b.
(parantheses) may help, next time.
if you wanted a ^2, then
just factor out 2a from all the terms, since it is the greatest common factor (GCF) - always find that greatest common factor.
2a ( 9ab - 2b + 6 )
if you wanted a * 2b
then just factor out 4a
4a ( 9b - b + 3 )
simplified: 4a (8b + 3)
~ take care

The best you can do is take out 2a getting:
2a(9ab -2b +6)
