$$2x ^{2}-11x+12$$
This equation without the numbers is $$ax ^{2}+bc+c$$
So you need to multiply a*c to find out what you need to factor... In this case that would be 24. Now you need to find 2 factors that multiply to 24 and add up to -11... that would be -8 and -3. 
Now you have (x-8)(x-3)... but you are not done yet. Now you have to divide the first factor (-8) by a(2) so then you would get. (x-4)... then you place a(2) into the second factor... (2x-3)... Thereforth, your answer would be (x-4)(2x-3). You can FOIL to check your answers.
