Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
F(−2)=14. Explanation: substitute x=− 2 into f(x). f(−2)=(3×(−2)2)−(−2). ××=(3×4)+2=12+2=14 .
Answer:
x=2 y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the equations in order to solve for the first variable. Plug this value into the other equations in order to solve for the remaining variables.
