You can put this solution on YOUR website!
factor: 128x^2 - 348x - 11
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "It'll be (ax + 1)*(bx - 11), where a*b = 128
\n" ); document.write( "The signs are different because the product is negative.
\n" ); document.write( "It's -11, because the -384 is a large number.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Find a pair of factors of 128 that work (both positive).
\n" ); document.write( "There's no \"secret\" to factoring, it's trial and error.
\n" ); document.write( "You need the practice more than I do.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
