    A. (2a - 7) (a + 4).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2a2 + a - 28

    = 2a^2 + 8a - 7a - 28

    = 2a (a + 4) - 7 (a + 4)

    The a + 4 is common so we have:

    (2a - 7) (a + 4).

    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2a^2 + a - 28

    Recall: ax^2 + bx + c

    a*c = 2*28 = 56

    sum of factors = + 8-7 = 1

    multiply of factor = 8*7=56

    2a^2 + 8a - 7a-28

    (2a^2 + 8a) - (7a - 28)

    2a (a + 4) - 7 (a + 4)

    Therefore

    (2a-7) (a+4)
