2x - 9
2x6
2x + 6
X-6
x+6

Answer 1

• (2x -9)
• (x +6)

Explanation:

Perhaps you're factoring ...

2x² +3x -54

= 2x² +12x -9x -54 . . . . rewrite 3x appropriately

= 2x(x +6) -9(x +6) . . . . factor pairs of terms

= (2x -9)(x +6) . . . . . . . . finish the factoring

The factors are (2x -9) and (x +6).
