Answer 1

Answer:

D. on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option D: $x^{2} (x-12)-2(x-12)$ is the solution

Explanation:

The given expression is $x^2-12x^2-2x+24$

We need to determine the factors of the expression by grouping.

The solution can be determined by factoring the common terms in the expression.

Let us group the expression.

$(x^2-12x^2)+(-2x+24)$

Let us factor out the common terms from the two groups.

Thus, we have,

$x^{2} (x-12)-2(x-12)$

Thus, the factors of the expression is $x^{2} (x-12)-2(x-12)$
