Factor the trinomial below. x^2 + 5x – 24 A. (x – 8)(x + 3) B. (x – 4)(x + 6) C. (x – 3)(x + 8) D. (x – 6)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x - 24

To factorize first write 5x as a difference so that when subtracted will give you 5 and when multiplied will give you - 24

That's

x² + 8x - 3x - 24

Factorize x out

That's

x( x + 8) - 3(x + 8)

Factor x + 8 out

We have the final answer as
