Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 2x - 35
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 35) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)
The factors are + 7 and - 5, since
7 × - 5 = - 35 and 7 - 5 = + 2, thus
x² + 2x - 35 = (x + 7)(x - 5) ← in factor form
With x + 7 as a factor → A
