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:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC are all less than -5
1/5 of 200 is 40 which mean she gave 40 away and she has a 160 left
Suppose the length of the card board was x cm by x cm
After squares of 4cm was cut from the corner, the dimension for the box will be:
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=4 cm
thus the volume will be:
V=length*width*height
V=4×(x-8)×(x-8)=144
x²-16x+64=36
this can be simplified to form a quadratic equation given by:
x²-16x+28=0
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=2 or x=14
Thus we conclude that the original dimensions was:
length=14 cm ; width=14 cm
