The model represents x2 – 9x + 14. An algebra tile configuration showing only the Product spot. 24 tiles are in the Product spot: 1 is labeled + x squared, 9 are labeled negative x, and 14 are labeled +.

Which is a factor of x2 – 9x + 14?

x – 9
x – 2
x + 5
x + 7

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
