@jayz657 Care to explain how you got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the answer, but I really want to understand how to do the problem.

find multiples that multiples to 144 and find terms that add up to 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the numbers that meet those conditions are your factors

I still don't understand. But thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i explain better so you have a quadratic x^2 + bx + c and the cross this shows this|dw:1350243509596:dw| so (d)(e) has to = c and d + e has to = b
