Answer:
Final answer will be X -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let (x−a) be the other factor.
Now, (x+5),(x−a) are factors of the quadratic equation x2+x−20
Thus,
(x+5)(x−a)=x2+x−20
=>x2−ax+5x−5a=x2+x−20
=>x(5−a)−5a=x−20
Now, considering the co-efficients of x on the both sides,
5−a=1
=>a=5−1=4
Therefore the other factor is (x−4)
