Answer:

3

Explanation:

Start by factoring the original equation

4x^2 - 4x - 120 =

4(x*2 - x - 30)

Then compare to each:

1. 2(2x^2 - 2x - 60) can be further factored: 4(x^2 - x - 30), so it works.

2. Correct also

3. 4(x+6)(x-5) = 4(x^2 + x - 30), so it does not work.

4. 4x(x - 1) - 120 = 4x^2 - 4x - 120, when factored it is 4(x^2 - x - 30) so it also works.

(3) I, II, and IV
