While Mia's answer is not shown, the <u>correct process</u> is:

This trinomial is in the form ax²+bx+c.  In this case, x=1.  We want factors of c (in our trinomial, -12) that sum to b (in our trinomial, 4).  

To make -12, we can multiply:
1(-12)
-1(12)
2(-6)
-2(6)
3(-4)
-3(4)

The correct set of factors are the ones that sum to positive 4.  The only ones that do this are -2 and 6.  These are the roots, so factored form is:
(x-2)(x+6).

Choose the estimate closest to an average​ person's weight: 8​kg, 80​kg, or 800 kg.
dexar [7]

The estimate closest to an average​ person's weight is 80​kg

<h3>How to determine the estimate?</h3>

The weights are given as:

8 kg, 80 kg and 800 kg

To answer this question, I will assume that a person means an adult

An adult that weighs 8 kg is very much under weight

Because the average weight of a person is around 60 to 90 kg

Hence, the estimate closest to an average​ person's weight is 80​kg
