So see if u can factor out the trinomial. it's factorable. (x+3)(×-2)
so divide that factors by (×-2)
(×-2)(×+3)
(×-2)
the (×-2) cancel out, leaving x+3

To factor a trinomial like a x 2 + b x + c , multiply a and c , find two numbers that multiply to that product and add to b , rewrite the trinomial, and then factor by grouping. For example, 2 x 2 + 5 x + 3 factors to ( x + 1 ) ( 2 x + 3 ) . Following these steps will help simplify many quadratic expressions.
