Answer:
Let's factor x2+3x−18
x2+3x−18
The middle number is 3 and the last number is -18.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get 3
Multiply together to get -18
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -3 and 6:
-3+6 = 3
-3*6 = -18
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -3 and 6 to get...
(x-3)(x+6)
Answer:
(x−3)(x+6)
