Question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the following expression:


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

if we delete the parentheses applying the distributive property, we obtain:


x^2+7x\text{ - 18 -9x-6}

rearranging the terms we get:


x^2+7x\text{ -9x -18-6}

this is equivalent to:


x^2\text{ - 2x -24}

now, factoring this expression, we get:


(x\text{ +4})(x\text{ - 6})

Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:


(x\text{ +4})(x\text{ - 6})
