I need steps for this (need answers asap)

(2x-7)(x+12)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²+17x-84

(2x     )(x     )

We were told to use 7 and 12 to equal 84. Let's try 12 in the first bracket and 7 in the second:

(2x  12)(x   7): (2x)(7) and (12)(x) = 14x and 12x, which we cant make 17x from

Now let's try 7 in the first bracket and 12 in the second:

(2x   7)(x   12): (2x)(12) and (7)(x) = 24x and 7x, which we CAN use to make 17x if the 7x is negative, ie place a '+' before the twelve in the second bracket and a '-' before the seven in the first bracket.

(2x-7)(x+12)

Double check: (2x-7)(x+12)=2x(x+12)-7(x+12)=2x²+24x-7x-84=2x²+17x-84

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
