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:
C) 60
Step-by-step explanation:
180 - 120
Answer:
Replace l with 110 and w with 120
P = 2(110) + 2(120)
P = 220 + 240
P = 460 feet
(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
Original lawn is = 20 feet * 20 feet square
-2*4=-8
-8 is the correct answer
