3. (x+2)(x−5)

Explanation:

Question One.

Factor 8x+12

8x+12

4(2x+3)

Question Two.

Factor
`x^(2)`−3x−10

The middle number is -3 and the last number is -10.

Factoring means we want something like:

(x+_)(x+_)

We need to figure out which numbers go in the blanks.

You will need two numbers. They need to...

Add together to get -3.

Multiply together to get -10.

2+-5=-3

2·-5=-10

Fill in the blanks.
