MATH EMERGENCY!!!! What is this expression in factored form? x^2-6x+8

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

You have to think what 2 numbers when multiplied = 8 and when added equal -6?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I just saw you are offline so I might just as well give the answer: (x -4) * (x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2 -6x + 8\] \[=>x^2-4x-2x + 8=>x(x-4)-2(x-4)=>(x-4)(x-2)\]
