Ann Zimmerman · Answer 2

(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x - 24

From here, you must find the two factors of - 24 (the first and third terms' coefficients multiplied together) that add up to 2 (the middle terms coefficient)

(x - 4) (x + 6)

If one factor of x2 + 2x - 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?(x+8)(x-8)(x+4)(x-4)
