Question

I don’t understand what it’s asking for my algebra 2

Answer 1

The given expression is

`(x+9)(x-2)-9x-6`

Solve the product.

`x^2-2x+9x-18-9x-6=x^2-2x-24`

Then, factor the quadratic expression. Find two numbers whose product is -24 and whose difference is -2.

`x^2-2x-24=(x-6)(x+4)`

Therefore, the answer is (x-6)(x+4).
