Answer:

3(x - 3)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

take out a common factor of 3 from each term

= 3(x² - x - 6)

to factor the quadratic consider the factors of - 6 which sum to - 1

These are - 3 and + 2, hence

3x² - 3x - 18 = 3(x - 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

Answer:

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ {5}^{n} \times {5}^{3} }{ {5}^{7} } = {5}^{2} \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{ {5}^{n + 3} }{ {5}^{7} } = {5}^{2} \\ \\ \implies \: {5}^{n + 3 - 7} = {5}^{2} \\ \\ \implies \: {5}^{n - 4} = {5}^{2} \\ \\ \implies \:n - 4 = 2 \\ \\ \implies \:n = 4 + 2 \\ \\ \implies \:n = 6$
