You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) think any factor of 12, let say (3,4) or (2,6) and (1,12) this is the possible value of x since it is a quadratic equation,
\n" ); document.write( "The factor: \"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B4%29=x%5E2%2B3x%2B4x%2B12=x%5E2%2B7x%2B12\" so b here is 7
\n" ); document.write( "do this to other 2 possible value of x, you will get b=7 and b=13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b)this time think 2 numbers and their sum must be 6, let say (3,3) and (5,1)
\n" ); document.write( "again this is the possible value of x.
\n" ); document.write( "The factor: \"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B3%29=x%5E2%2B3x%2B3x%2B9=x%5E2%2B6x%2B9\" so c here is 9
\n" ); document.write( "do this to other possible value of x, you will get c=5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
