Its A not C and really mr. long name really?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why is it A? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The 5x is a positive because the 12 is positive and you subtract 7 from that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes i also got the C : it is completely correct it will be : x^2 +5x-84

I don't think its B ritz...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Its not if it is I guess a bandit went and stole the 5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x - 7)( x +12) = x^2 + 12x - 7x -84 = x^2 + 5x -84....so the answer is B
