Question 9 • Algebra I

Which is the factorization of 8 x squared plus 13 x negative 6 ?

Answer
A
8 x negative 3 times x plus 2
B
x negative 6 times 8 x plus 1
C
2 x negative 2 times 4 x plus 3
D
4 x negative 1 times 2 x plus 6

Explanation

To check the factorization, multiply (8x − 3)(x + 2). The product is 8x² + 16x − 3x − 6, which simplifies to 8x² + 13x − 6. Therefore, the factorization is “8x − 3 times x + 2,” choice A.
