Question

Help fast :) Which of these is the correct factored form of the equation x^2−3x=−2? Explain your reasoning.

(x - 1) (x -1), because the standard form of the equation is x^2−3x−2=0which factors to (x −1)^2

(x - 2) (x -2), because the standard form of the equation is x^2−3x−2=0which factors to (x −2)^2



(x - 2) (x -1), because the standard form of the equation is x^2−3x+2=0

which factors to (x - 2) (x -1)


(x + 2) (x +1), because the standard form of the equation is x^2−3x+2=0
which factors to (x + 2) (x +1)

Answer 1

The correct form is (X-2)(x-1)

Answer 2

(x - 2) (x -1), because the standard form of the equation is x^2−3x+2=0. The factored form of x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 is also (x - 2) (x - 1).
