Which equation below represents y = x2 - x - 30 after the first step of the factor by grouping process?

A. y = x2 + 5x + 6x - 30

B. y = x2 + 5x - 6x - 30

C. y = x2 - 5x - 6x + 30

D. y = x2 + 5x - 6x + 30

B. y = x^2 + 5x - 6x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you have after the first step needs to be equivalent to the equation you started with. That is, the x-terms need to sum to - x, and the constant needs to be - 30.

Only one answer choice meets these requirements.

y = x^2 + 5x - 6x - 30
