\[3x^2 + 4x - 4 \]
here u need to solve for x
do one thing multiply first terms coefficient with the last term coefficient and see what u get

what u get???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
show an example , im not good without examples /
OpenStudy (anonymous):
see here first term is 3x^2 so coefficent is 3
last term is 4 and coefficient is 4 only
so 3 multiplied by 4 is equal to 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that clear ???

is it like Solving a System of Equations through Elimination
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first learn it...........it is factorization
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it x+4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so u have 12 now factorize 12 = 2*2*3
now u have to add or subtract these factors in such a way that u have the middle term
\[3x^2 + 4x - 4 = 3x^2 + 6x - 2x - 4\]
\[=> 3x(x + 2) -2 ( x + 2)\]
\[=> (x+2)(3x-2)\]
