Step 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 2. In step 1, they correctly wrote the factors of the polynomial as (x+6) and (x-2). But then in step 2, (x+6) suddenly became (x-6) and (x-2) became (x+2), which is incorrect.

The answers in step 3 should have been -6 and  2.

1 = 75

because 38 + 67 + 75 = 180 (remember a triangle is 180 degrees)

2 = 75

opposite angles are always the same.

3. 57

because 75 + 38 + 57 = 180
