Answer:
(x−1)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The middle number is 1 (1x) and the last number is -2.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get 1
Multiply together to get -2
Try -1 and 2:
-1+2 = 1
-1*2 = -2
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -1 and 2 to get...
(x-1)(x+2)
Hope this helps!
