Question 489484: Factor. 12-8t+t^2
I was trying to figure this one out and am confused I had changed it to
t^2-8+12 and it does not make sense to me. Is this not factorable? Thanks in advance - I just want to double check this.

You appear to drop the "t" after "8", maybe a typo here only.
It is factorable.
