Hi,

Re TY

"the first thing i would do is to get the first and last multiply and then those will have to equal to the middle number"

Yes!  12x + x must equal that middle number 13x

You are definitely getting the hang of it



factoring

(2x + 1)(x + 6) = 0 ,  x = -1/2   0r  x = -6

checking Factoring using FOIL

F	First terms

O	Outside terms   12x

I	Inside terms     1x

L	Last terms
