Answer:
B. 288 In
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
x*(x-2)-(288)=0
x • (x - 2) - 288 = 0
Find two factors of -288 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-288 + 1 = -287
-144 + 2 = -142
-96 + 3 = -93
-72 + 4 = -68
-48 + 6 = -42
-36 + 8 = -28
-32 + 9 = -23
-24 + 12 = -12
-18 + 16 = -2 That's it
Answer: 288
