Answer:

c=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

[tex](ax+b)(x-3)=ax(x-3)+b(x-3)=ax^2-3ax+bx-3b\\\\=ax^2+(b-3a)x+(-3b) \\\\\text{And it should be equal to } 4x^2+cx-9[/tex]

We can identify the like terms so:

a = 4

b-3a = c

3b = 9 <=> b = 3

So c = 3 - 3*4 = 3-12 = -9

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
