I was absent from my algebra lesson, and I have a queston on my homework.It asks that I solve the equasion. The equasion is -2h^2-28h-98 . I know so far that I need to put it in two different sets of parenthasees. So far, all I have written down is (-h      ) (h        ). Please help me, because I am very confused. Thank you! </SPAN>\n" );
