Answer: (x-1)(3x+8)
Explanation:
Slide and divide method
See what multiplies to get -24 (because of 3 and -8) and what adds to get 5
Put those into factoring form (x-3)(x+8) without a number in front of the x’s
Divide the numbers by what isn’t in front of the x’s (-3/3 and 8/3)
Simplify them and if it doesn’t divide perfectly, put the denominator in front of the x
Solution
