Answer:
OPTION C: (x - 5)(x + 6)
Explanation:
Given: (x - 3)(x + 4) - 18
Product of (x - 3) and (x + 4) = x² + 4x - 3x - 12
Therefore, (x - 3)(x + 4) - 18 = x² + x - 30
This is a quadratic equation and the roots are x = 5, -6.
This can be written as binomials as:
(x - 5)(x + 6) which is the required answer.
So, OPTION C is the answer.
