Which grid model can factorize 3x² − 11x − 20?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3x + 4)(x − 5)

The direct answer is C: (3x + 4)(x − 5). A grid model multiplies the side labels, so check every cell: 3x·x = 3x², 3x·(−5) = −15x, 4·x = 4x, and 4·(−5) = −20. Combining the middle cells gives −15x + 4x = −11x, so the product is exactly 3x² − 11x − 20. A gives 3x² + 7x − 20 because −15x + 12x = −3x? More directly, (3x−5)(x+4) = 3x²+7x−20, so its middle term is wrong. B gives 3x² + 11x − 20, with the opposite middle sign. D gives 3x² − 7x − 20, also incorrect. In a signed grid, do not check only the first and last terms; add both cross-products carefully. The exact middle coefficient identifies the correct arrangement.
