Answer:

-3   2   6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider this expression.

-3x2- 24x - 36

What expression is equivalent to the given expression?

-3 (x + 2)(x+6)

Drop down answer is in bold

The equivalent expression will be :  - 3 (x + 2) (x + 6)

We have the following expression -

[tex]-3x^{2}[/tex] - 24x - 36

We have to find out the equivalent expression of above expression.

Expand the following expression - (x + 2)(x + 4).

Above expression can be expanded in the following way -

(x + 2)(x + 4) = x(x + 2) + 4(x + 4) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 2x + 4x + 16 =   [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 2x + 16

According to question -

 [tex]-3x^{2}[/tex] - 24x - 36

- 3 ([tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 8x + 12)

-3 ([tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 6x + 2x + 12)

-3 [x(x + 6) + 2(x + 6)]

-3(x + 2)(x + 6)

Hence, the equivalent expression will be :  -3(x + 2)(x + 6)
