\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{x^2 + 3x + 8 = 6}


\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 6 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{x^2 + 3x + 8 - 6 = 6 - 6}


\mathsf{8 - 6 = \boxed{\bf 2}}


\mathsf{6 - 6 = \boxed{\bf 0}}


\mathsf{x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0}


\large\textsf{FACTOR the LEFT SIDE OF THE EQUATION}


\mathsf{(x + 1)(x + 2) = 0}


\large\textsf{SET EACH FACTORS to EQUAL 0}


\mathsf{x + 1 = 0 \ OR \ x + 2 = 0}


\large\textsf{SOLVE the EQUATIONS ABOVE and YOU HAVE YOUR x-values}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = -1 or x = -2}}}\huge\checkmark
