5x² + 10x - 40
Let's go through all of the answers & simplify them, then see if they are correct.
A) 5(x - 4)(x + 2)
Simplify.
5x² - 10x - 40
So, A) is INCORRECT.
B) 5(x - 2)(x + 4)
Simplify.
5x² + 10x - 40
So, B) is the correct answer.
However, let's also check C just in case :)
C) 5(x - 4)(x - 2)
Simplify.
5x² - 30x + 40
Therefore C) is incorrect.
So, your correct answer is B) 5(x - 2)(x + 4)
~Hope I helped!~
