Question

What are the factors of 2x2 + 3x – 54? Select two options. 2x – 9 2x – 6 2x + 6 x – 6 x + 6

Answer 1

2x − 9 and x + 6

Explanation:

2x² + 3x − 54

Factor using the AC method.

2 × -54 = -108

Factors of -108 that add up to 3 are +12 and -9.

Divide by 2 and reduce: 12/2 = 6/1, -9/2 = -9/2.

Therefore, the factors are x + 6 and 2x − 9.
