Question

factorize a2-14a-51
Thanks

Answer 1

=a² - 17a + 3a - 51
= a(a-17) + 3(a-17)
= (a-17)(a+3)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2-14a-51

Now split-14a

a^2-17a+3a-51

Now using grouping and regrouping method

a(a-17)+3(a-17)

Thus

(a+3) (a-17)

OR

(a-17)(a+3)

Thus this will be the answer
