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)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is given by;
a = r .an-1 where n is the number of terms.
Given the sequence: -64, -16, -4 , -1, ....
This sequence is a geometric sequence with common ratio (r) = 1/4
Here, first term a1 = -64
Since,
\frac{-16}{-64} = \frac{1}{4}
\frac{-4}{-16} = \frac{1}{4} and so on....
The recursive rule for this sequence is;
an = 1/4*an-1
first, distribute -6 to (2b + 1), giving you -12b - 6, and then on the another side of the equation, distribute -2 to (5 + 4b) giving you, -10 - 8b. now we need to put our coefficients on one side so we will add 8b to each side of the equation, giving us -6 = -10 - 8b + 12b, then we will add 10 to both sides of the equation giving us, 10 -6 = -8b +12b, this gives u 4 = 4b. then, you would solve for b, which equals 1.
