Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 are = 100 m²
Assuming the ten squares are congruent, the area of each square is 160/10 = 16 are
16 are × 100 m²/are = 1600 m²
each side is √1600 = 40 m
This seems to be dividing by 4, so the next numbers are 20, and then 5. If there is a 3rd, it's 1.25
Answer:
it should be 6 not 100% sure though
