The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
Answer:
The percent for 3 out of 12 is 25%
If the total number of games was 100, the win amount would need to be 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 out of 12 is a fraction - 3/12
3/12 = 0.25 which means 25% because 0.25 is 25% of 1.
Using the same percentage for 100 total games, you just multiply 100 by 0.25, the decimal version of the percentage.
