this equation cannot be factored, because there is no square root of
GAME: think of 2 numbers that is the product to the 3rd term (-24) and the sum of the 2nd term (-2).
These two numbers would be: -6,4
This is because:
And:
now, substitute these two numbers as the middle term in the equation:
Now, common factor by GROUPING
-Common Factor the first two terms
-Common factor of is y
-Common Factor the last two terms
-Common factor of is 4
Therefore, the equation is now after dividing by the common factors.
Take the equation and common factor again, this time the common factor being (y-6)
Therefore,
