Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 5) (x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this trinomial, you must split the middle term (-2x) into two terms that can be added to get -2x, and multiplied to get -35:

$x^2$ - 2x - 35

$x^2$ - 7x + 5x - 35

Group:

($x^2$ - 7x)  (5x - 35)

Take out GCF (Greatest Common Factor):

x(x - 7)  5(x - 7)

(x + 5) (x - 7)
