Answer:
C
Explanation:
Given
24x² - 22x + 5
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 24 × 5 = 120 and sum = - 22
The factors are - 12 and - 10
Use these factors to split the x- term
24x² - 12x - 10x + 5 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 12x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term
= (12x - 5)(2x - 1) ← in factored form → C
