Question

Look at this equation: x2 - 29x - 132 = 0. What is the factored form of this equation?

A. (x + 11)(x - 12) = 0
B. (x - 33)(x + 4) = 0
C. (x + 44)(x - 3) = 0
D. (x + 33)(x - 4) = 0

Answer 1

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2x-29x-132=0

Next step

Collect like terms

-27x-132=0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

-27x=132

Divide both sides of the equation by

Solution or answer ———
X= - 44/9

Alternative form <———
X =-4 8/9 ,x=-4.8

Any of those are the answer
