Find factors of -5 that, when added together, will give 4

x² + 4x - 5
x             5
x           -1

(x + 5)(x -1)

Using the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last), we can get the question again.

x(x) = x²
x(-1) = -x
5(x) = 5x
5(-1) = -5

x² - x + 5x - 5
x² + 4x - 5


(x + 5) (x - 1) is your answers

however, i believe it is only asking for one. Therefore, because (x - 1) is a choice, (x - 1) should be your answer

hope this helps
