SOLUTION: My goal is to factor the polynomials:
8b^2+24b+18
Here is where I am at...and managing to confuse myself.
8b^2+24b+18 = GCF= 2: 8b^2/2 = (4b^2) and 24b/2 = (12b) and 18/

You can put this solution on YOUR website! factor the polynomials:
8b^2+24b+18
---------------
= 2(4b^2+12b+9)
---
= 2(2b+3)(2b+3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8b^2 + 24 b + 18
here 2 is common so, simplify it
= 2( 4b^2 + 12b + 9)
= 2( 4b^2 + 6b + 6b + 9 )
= 2( 2b(2b+3) + 3(2b+3))
= 2((2b+3) (2b+3))
= 2 (2b+3) (2b+3)
you can also factorize it as it is in form of a^2 +2ab+ b^2 = (a + b) ^2 , after second step....
