Question

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to first take out GCF

6(x² - x - 12)

Then we factor

6(x - 4)(x + 3)

We can now see our answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

6 ( x-4) (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2 - 6x - 72

factor out a 6

6 ( x^2 - x - 12)

What 2 number multiply to -12 and add to -1

-4*3 = -12

-4+3 = -1

6 ( x-4) (x+3)
