Question

Write an expression that is the product of two factors and is equivalent to - 2x - 12.

Answer 1

Answer:

$-2(x+6)\rightarrow(D)$

Explanation: We need to simply factorize the given to get the expression that is the product of two factors, this is done as follows:

$\begin{gathered} -2x-12\rightarrow-2(x+6) \\ \text{ We factored out -2} \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ -2(x+6)\rightarrow\text{ (D) Option} \end{gathered}$

Note! The resulting expression s indeed a product of two factors!
