Question

Juanita begins to factor an expression as shown. x2+3x−18=(x+)(x−) What numbers should be placed in the boxes from left to right? 3 and 6 2 and 9 6 and 3 9 and 2

Answer 1

6 and 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Here we need to factorize x²+3x−18

The coefficient of x is 3 and the constant is -18

Which means

The sum of factors is 3

The product of factors is -18

The factors satisfying are 6 and -3

Here the factors are given in the type (x+)(x−)

So the value after plus is 6 and value after - is 3

Option A is the correct answer.
