Answer:
You should evaluate whatever is in the parenthesis first.
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option C</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 5x - 24
To factorize first write 5x as a difference so that when subtracted will give you 5 and when multiplied will give you - 24
That's
x² + 8x - 3x - 24
Factorize x out
That's
x( x + 8) - 3(x + 8)
Factor x + 8 out
We have the final answer as
<h3>(x + 8)(x - 3)</h3>
Hope this helps you
