Jen factored x² - 4x - 21 as (x - 3)(x + 7) What did she do wrong?

Jen should have done (x+3)(x-7) bc the middle value of the original equation needs to be equal to the two numerical values added together from the factored equation

Answer:

She didn't put the sign's in the proper place, it should be ( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 ) = x² + 7x - 3x - 21 = x² + 4x - 21

( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 ) = x² - 7x + 3x - 21 = x² - 4x - 21

There are 4 cheetahs. There are 3 times as many elephants than cheetahs. Multiply:

4 • 3 = 12

12 + 4 = 16

Rebecca saw 16 animals at the zoo.
