anonymous · Answer

it is a perfect square

anonymous · Answer

we know because 
$$144=12^2$$ and $$2\times 12=24$$

anonymous · Answer

that is two point right there.  
because it is a perfect square it can be factored 

$$(x+12)^2$$ is how you factor.

i don't understand the distinction between questions 2 and 3, but that is on you
