8x^2 + 6x – 5
\n" ); document.write( "8*-5=-40
\n" ); document.write( "What 2 factors of -40 when added equal 6? Ans: 10, -4
\n" ); document.write( "8x^2-4x+10x-5 Multiply those 2 numbers by x and replace +6x in the original equation with them (in either order!).
\n" ); document.write( "=4x(2x-1)+5(2x-1) Factoring by grouping
\n" ); document.write( "=(4x+5)(2x-1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
