Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the second term 7x^2 - 8x - 12 into two terms
7x^2 + 6x - 14x - 12
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms
x(7x + 6) - 2(7x + 6)
Factor out the common term; 7x + 6
<u>(7x + 6)(x - 2) </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1*-2=-2, -2*-2=4, -2*4=-8, -8*-32=256
