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.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x=-13+1
3x = - 12
x = -12/3
x= -4
The value of 4 in 40 is 10 times less than the value of 4 in 400
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Common factors : what make up a number (they will be all prime)
6 - 2, 3
9 - 3,3
the common factor is three (its what they have in common)
Answer:The first table would be a proportional relationship.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's the only table with a constant, which is required in a proportional relationship. The constant would be 1300 which you can find by divided the two numbers in each row.
