X2- 17x+30

OA (x-2)(x+15)

O B. (x-3)(x-10)

O C. (x-3)(x+10)

O D. (x-2)(x-15)

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

30 must be factored into

2 and 15

3 and 10

5 and 6

The two numbers chosen from the list above must add to 17

Only one set will do and that is 2 and 15

So the answer is

(x - 2)(x - 15)

which is the answer
