<PRE><B>Question 1043299</B>
Factor 3x^2 + 26x + 51 and use the result to find the prime factors of 32651 
-----
3x^2+26x+51 = (x+3)(3x+17)
------
3x^2 + 26x + 51 = 32600 + 51
-----
3x^2 + 26x = 32600
------
3x^2 + 26x = 30000 + 2600 = 3(100^2) + 26(100)
----
So, x = 100
-------
Prime factors are x+3 = 103 and 3x+17 = 317
--------
103*317 = 32651
