Answer 1

Answer: (x - 1)(x - 23)

Step-by-step explanation:

    First, we can factor the x² part:

(x)(x)

    Next, we will look at the -24x and +23

-> We need two numbers that multiply to 23 and add to -24

-> 23 is a prime number, so we will use 1 and 23

    For -24, 1 and 23 must be added together. Since a negative times a negative is a positive, and a negative plus a negative is a positive, we will turn them into -1 and -23.

    This gives us a final answer of:

(x - 1)(x - 23)
