The answer is A. to solve this problem you need to get the -2 and -8 to multiply to your end number and add to your middle number. if you were to multiply -2 (-8) you would get 16 aka your back number! if you were to add -8+(-2) that would equal -10 aka your middle number. This is an easy trick to help with factoring! b cannot work because yes -4(-4) = 16 -4+(-4) =-8 not -10
