Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 + 2x – 8?
An algebra tile configuration. 5 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot: 1 is labeled + x, 2 are labeled +, and 2 are labeled negative. 3 tiles are in the Factor 2 spot: 1 is labeled + x and 2 are labeled negative. 15 tiles are in the Product spot: 1 is labeled + x squared, 4 are labeled negative x, the 2 tiles below + x squared are labeled + x, and the 8 tiles below the negative x tiles are labeled negative.
