So, to factor out the equation x²+12x+35, first multiply the first and last numbers.
1×35=35
So, you need to find the multiples of 35 that add up to 12.
So, you find 7 and 5. These two numbers are the magic numbers that will be used as the correct factored form of x²+12x+35, because:
>7×5=35
>7+5=12
So, using these two numbers, you get your factored form as:
(x+5)(x+7)
