Factoring means decompose in more simple terms a polynomial

Its called trinomial because have 3 terms

Lets look first at numerical term -12 , its the last term but all the options give -12 as result.

So next see the second term 11x. Find 4 numbers a,b,c,d

such that a•b + c•d = 11

There is a possible combination 4•5 - 3•3 = 20- 9= 11

then look at the options and find which corresponds
