given the expression


12x^2+19x-21

we are loking 2 numbers whose multiplication is equal to 12

and other 2 number whose multiplication is equal to 21

the sum of the cross multiplication is equal of 19, as follows


(4x*3x)+((4x*7)+(3x*-3))+(-3*7)

factor is


\left(4x-3\right)\left(3x+7\right)

correct answer option B
