Answer:
The answer is option A
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 36
To factor the expression rewrite -5x as a difference
That's
x² + 4x - 9x - 36
Factor out x from the expression
x( x + 4) - 9x - 36
Factor out -9 from the expression
x( x + 4) - 9( x+ 4)
Factor out x + 4 from the expression
The final answer is
( x - 9)( x + 4)
