Answer:
A: (x-6)(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find 2 numbers that add to make -5 and multiply to make -6.
We already have the numbers infront of us, so by process of elimination we can remove B and D.
For the numbers, we need a positive number and a negative number (two negatives make a positive). We can eliminate C because at first -3 multiplied by 2 is -6. However, when -3 is added to 2 we get -1.
If we expand A, it makes the expression that needs to be factorised because...
-6 × 1 = -6
-6 + 1 = -5
So expanding it properly we get.
x² - 6x + x - 6
Simplify.
x² - 5x -6
