Question 235491: Factor completely the polynomial and indicate any that are not factorable using integers.
This is what I have come up with...but not sure I am doing this correctly
9x²+30x+16
9*16=144
9x²+6x+24x+16
3x(3x+2)+8(3x+2)
=(3x+8)(3x+2)
=9x²+6x+24x+16
=9x²+30x+16

I'm not sure why you felt the need to multiply 9 by 16, but everything else you did was spot on and you came to the correct conclusion. Good job.
