\n" ); document.write( "(x___)(x___)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Fill the blanks with two integers that multiply to give you c=-6 and add together to give you b=-1.
\n" ); document.write( "-3*2=-6 and -3+2=-1
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)(x+2)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Set each parentheses = to 0 and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "x-3=0 or x+2=0
\n" ); document.write( "x-3+3=0+3 or x+2-2=0-2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=3%29\"$ or $\"highlight%28x=-2%29\"$
