Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
There are 250 students in sixth grade
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, All the students in the sixth grade either walk home or take the bus home after school
From given,
Number of students walk home = 170
Let "x" be the total number of students in school
32% of the students take the bus
Thus, 32 % of "x" takes bus
<em><u>To find: total number of students in school</u></em>
Total students = Number of students walk home + number of students takes bus

Thus there are 250 students in sixth grade
Answer:
It will take her 11.4 days, or 12 whole days to jog 57 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1 day = 5 miles
? days = 57 miles
57/5 = 11.4 days
It is 57! I hope you are satisfied.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 is a perfect square. We can pull 2 out from under the square root symbol.
The prime factor of 12 is 2.2.3. We can pull another 2 outside of the square root symbol. 2 x2 is 4 that will be outside of the square root symbol and the x, y and 3 will be left under the symbol.
