Answer:
OPTION C: (x - 5)(x + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: (x - 3)(x + 4) - 18
Product of (x - 3) and (x + 4) = x² + 4x - 3x - 12
Therefore, (x - 3)(x + 4) - 18 = x² + x - 30
This is a quadratic equation and the roots are x = 5, -6.
This can be written as binomials as:
(x - 5)(x + 6) which is the required answer.
So, OPTION C is the answer.
When doing this equation, draw a big X on your paper. At the top of the x you do A times C. At the bottom, you put the B. To factor, you need to find what two numbers MULTIPLY together to equal the A times C, and that add together to get the B.
In all you will get (q+7) (q-6)
50% is greater than 33 1/3% so overall it would be greater than the original
48 = 12*4
12 = 12*1
The greatest common factor of 12 and 48 is 12
