The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
What are you converting it to/from?
Yes! pretty sure they are
We can treat this problem like you regularly subtract fractions. First find the common denominator, which is 15.
So:
5(x+6)/15 = 30/15 + 3(x-2)/15
(5x+6)/15 - (30/15) - (3x - 6)/15
As you already know the answer, I'm assuming you can do the rest.
Hope this helps!
