Answer:

I put all the steps to factoring, hopefully this helps! ^^

Explanation:

-Check for common factors. If the terms have common factors, then factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) and look at the resulting polynomial factors to factor further.

-Determine the number of terms in the polynomial.

-Look for factors that can be factored further.

-Check by multiplying.
