Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

Answer:
16x 144
Step-by-step explanation:
4x times 4x then 12 times 12 than that is you answer beacons you can ad 12 and 4x because the 12 has no x
