Hopefully, one of the binomials below is either (x - 7) or (x - 6)
You didn't bother to list the binomials to choose from, but the two binomial factors of x2 + 6x - 40 are (x + 10) and (x - 4)
Binomials are algebraic expressions of the sum or difference of two terms. Some binomials can be broken down into factors. One example of this is the "difference between two squares" where the binomial a2 - b2 can be factored into (a - b)(a + b)
(x + 2)(x - 12)
