Answer: (z+2)(z-9)

Explanation:


z^(2) -7z-18 to solve for this you need to find two numbers that if multiplied together they give you negative 18 and at the same time adds up to -7.

Those two numbers could be -9 and 2 .

now rewrite the expression like this.


z^(2) +2z - 9z -18 Group them

(
( z^(2) +2z) ( -9z- 18) Factor it out z in the first grouping

z(z +2) -9(z + 2) factor out x+2

(z +2 ) (z-9)
