Factorising -x2 + 7x + 18: (a - x)(x + b) = -x2 + (b - a)x + ab so ab = 18, b - a = 7 giving a = 2, b = 9: (2 - x)(x + 9)
x2 + 7x = 2x2 + 6 x2 - 2x2 + 7x = 6 -x2 +7x - 6 = 0 or alternatively x2 - 7x + 6 = 0
x2+7x-8 = (x-1(x+8)
=3x * * * * * The correct answer is: x2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4).
i got 42 divided 7x
