Answer:

(2x - 3)(5x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

10x² - 7x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 10 × - 12 = - 120 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 15 and + 8

Use these factors to split the x- term

10x² - 15x + 8x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(2x - 3) + 4(2x - 3) ← factor out (2x - 3) from each term

= (2x - 3)(5x + 4)

Area = length × width

So area of the self will be =4\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}=2.666ft^2
