Answer:

A.[tex]x(x+12) -7(x+12)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring is the process of taking common terms out of an expression such that one can represent the expression as the result of smaller values. When given the following expression:

[tex]x^2 +5x - 84[/tex]

First, represent the linear term as the sum of two terms such that each term shares a common factor with the other terms in the expression.

[tex]x^2 +12x - 7x - 84[/tex]

Now take out the common factors,

[tex]x(x+12) -7(x+12)[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is choice (A).
