Answer:
(x + 5)(x - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 2x - 35
Now we need to find two numbers whose product will be 35 and sum or difference will be 2. They are 7 and 5.
7 x 5 =35
7 - 5 = 2
So
= x² + 5x - 7x - 35
Taking x common from 1st two terms and -7 from last two.
= x(x + 5) - 7(x + 5)
Taking (x + 5) common
= ( x + 5)(x - 7)
