Verified Answer :

(y + 9)(y - 2) = 0  would be the correct answer .

For this case we have the following equation:


\(y ^ 2 + 7y = 18\)

Rewriting the equation we have:


\(y ^ 2 + 7y-18 = 0\)

Then, we must factor the equation:


We are looking for two numbers that are equal to 7 and multiplied equal to -18.


We have then:


\((y + 9) (y-2) = 0\)

Answer:


An equation that could be used to solve \(y^2 + 7y = 18\) by factoring is:


\((y + 9) (y-2) = 0\)
