To find the correct polynomial, we can use the answers to help us out. The middle variable must be the sum of +2 and another number; the last number in the equation must be the product of +2 and the other number.
Knowing this information, we can use the process of elimination to find the exact polynomial that contains the factor (3x + 2).
A) This can't be it because to get -x as the middle variable, you would need to add -3 and +2. However, -3 x +2 doesn't equal -4.
B) This equation isn't the right one because to get +8 you need to add +6 + 2. However, the product of these two isn't -8.
C) Can't be correct because +2 and -7 = -5, but 2 x -7 = -14...not -9.
D) Is the correct answer because you can add 2 and -1 to get +1. (There is an understood +1 in front of the x in the equation.) The product of 2 and -1 equals -2, which happens to be the last number inside this equation. Therefore, this (D) is the correct answer choice.
