Question

Juanita begins to factor an expression as shown. x2+3x−18=(x+)(x−) What numbers should be placed in the boxes from left to right? 3 and 6 2 and 9 6 and 3 9 and 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to factorize  x²+3x−18

The coefficient of x is 3 and the constant is -18

Which means

           The sum of factors is 3

           The product of factors is -18

The factors satisfying are  6 and -3

Here the factors are given in the type (x+)(x−)

     So the value after plus is 6 and value after - is 3

Option A is the correct answer.            

Answer 2

Answer:

6 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two numbers that multiply to equal -18 and add to equal 3

Those two numbers are 6 and -3. From reading left to right in this question, the correct answer would be 6 and 3
