Factor the expression. $$( x - 12 ) ^ { 2 } + ( x - 12 )$$
A) $( x - 12 ) ( x + 11 )$
B) $( x - 14 ) ( x - 11 )$
C) $( x - 12 ) ( x - 13 )$
D) $( x - 12 ) ( x + 13 )$
E) $( x - 12 ) ( x - 11 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression can be factored by taking $(x - 12)$ as a common factor, resulting in $(x - 12)(x - 12 + 1) = (x - 12)(x - 11)$.

Factor the Expression (x−12)2+(x−12)( x - 12 ) ^ { 2 } + ( x - 12 )(x−12)2+(x−12)

Factor the Expression $( x - 12 ) ^ { 2 } + ( x - 12 )$
