how to solve factoring trinomials? a%5E2%2B3a-4=0
------------------
I don't know, I've never heard of a "factoring trinomial."
But, if you want to know how to solve equations, in this case a trinomial, by factoring, I can help.
------------------
a%5E2%2B3a-4=0
=(a+4)*(a-1) = 0
a = -4
a = +1

Try to make sense. Don't speak, like, gibberish.
