Question

The product of two numbers is $x^2+3x-54$. If one number is $x-6$, then the other number is ____.

• A. $x+9$
• B. $x-9$
• C. $x+6$
• D. $x-3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$x+9$

Tthe product of two numbers is $x^2+3x-54$.

One number = $x-6$

Then second number is $\frac{x^2+3x-54}{x-6}$

We shall perform the above division as follows:

Hence the other number is $x+9$.
