<PRE><B>Question 776930</B>
12x^3 + 26x^2 + 12x
you take out an x and divide everything by 2 to make the equation simpler.
2x(6x^2+13x+6)
then you multiply 6 and 6
you then have to find two numbers that when added equal 13 and when multiplied equal 36.
the numbers are 4 and 9
then you put them in the equation like this
2x(6x^2+4x+9x+6)
finish this equation using factoring by grouping
2x   2x(3x+2)+3(3x+2)
if you did this right you should have the same equation in the parenthesis
final answer: 2x(2x+3)(3x+2)</PRE>
