The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.

Hello,
Please, see the attached files.
Thanks.
Ratio in which 180 should be divided is 4:5:9
firstly we need to find the total number of portions
this we can find by adding all the numbers making up the ratio
4 + 5 + 9 = 18
180 is made of 18 portions
size of 1 portion = 180 / 18 = 10
when dividing 180 into the respective ratio 4:5:9 the portions are as follows
4 x 10 = 40
5 x 10 = 50
9 x 10 = 90
therefore when we divide 180 in the ratio 4:5:9
the answer we get is
40 :50: 90
