Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
168 factors into
2•2•2•3•7
two of the 2's make a perfect square
(2•2)•2•3•7
2²•2•3•7
as none of the product of the remaining factors makes a perfect square
2•3 = 6, 2•7 = 14, 3•7 = 21
we need to multiply the remaining factors together to find another perfect square
2²•(2•3•7)²
2•3•7 = 42
42(168) = 7056 = 84²
X² + x - 20
= (x+5)(x-4)
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
hence the answer is C
