Pls help i am on a timer

Answer 1

A: (x-6)(x+1)

Explanation:

We need to find 2 numbers that add to make -5 and multiply to make -6.

We already have the numbers infront of us, so by process of elimination we can remove B and D.

For the numbers, we need a positive number and a negative number (two negatives make a positive). We can eliminate C because at first -3 multiplied by 2 is -6. However, when -3 is added to 2 we get -1.

If we expand A, it makes the expression that needs to be factorised because...

-6 × 1 = -6

-6 + 1 = -5

So expanding it properly we get.

x² - 6x + x - 6

Simplify.

x² - 5x -6

Answer 2

Answer: (x-6)(x+1)

Explanation:

Sum : x2 − 5 x- 6

x2 + x-=6 x − 6

factor pair: x 2 + x − 6 x − 6

x( x+ 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )

rewrite from: x (x + 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )

(x-6)(x+1)
