Dorothy is drawing a block on a poster. She knows that the area of the block square cm. Determine which of the following are possible dimensions of the block, in cm.

Answer:
(x-6)(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find possible dimensions , we need to factor x^2 - 7x + 6
x^2 - 7x + 6
Here sum is -7 and product is 6
-1 times -6 = 6
-1 + (-6) = -7
Now we break -7x using factors -1 and -6
[tex]x^2 + 7x + 6[/tex]
[tex]x^2 -6x-1x + 6[/tex]
Now we do groping
[tex](x^2 -6x)+(-1x + 6)[/tex]
[tex]x(x -6)-1(x-6)[/tex]
factor out x-6
(x-6)(x-1)
