D. The two middle coefficients do not add or multiply to the correct number.

Answer 1

Jamar's first step is correct. He should continue to factor the expression. Then the correct option is A.

What is a factorization?

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

Jamar is attempting to factor the expression 15x² – 16x – 15.

In his first step, he rewrites the expression as 15x² – 25x + 9x – 15.
