well you're probably going to get screwed on an exam if you don't know how to do it then. Math is extremely important, even if you don't realize it right now. :/

Answer 17

okay here....just so agentc0re can go to sleep at night -_-

to factor an expression you need to look at th coefficient of the 3rd term....which two of its factors add up to the coefficient of the second term

example:
x^2+5x+6

2 * 3 = 6
2 + 3 = 5

now that you've found those numbers...make two binomials as such:
(x+__)(x+__)

then you put in the 2 numbers you just found
(x+2)(x+3)

x^2+5x+6 = (x+2)(x+3)
