Question 22624
Did you want to factor this?  Find two numbers whose product is 60 that will add up to 32!  If you can't think of it, start with 1, and say 
"1 times 60"
"2 times 30"
"3 times 20"
"4 times 15"
"5 times 12" 
"6 times 10"
7 doesn't go, nor does 8, or 9, but 
"10 times 6" repeats the "6 times 10", so that means that you have all the combinations.


Obviously the 2 times 30 is the combination you needed.  Now

{{{a^2+32a+60}}}
{{{(a+2)*(a+30)}}} or {{{ (a+30)*(a+2)}}} 

These answers are equally correct!
