Answer 2

Okay, what are two numbers that go into 48 and add up to 14? @dontre

Answer 3

-14*

Answer 4

8 and 6

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

yes so you would have -8 and -6 since -8+(-6)=-14 and -8(-6)=48

so b^2-14b+48 will have a factorization that looks like (b+something)(b+another something)
so replace the something and the other something with the numbers you found

Answer 7

that is pretend we have x^2-5x+6
x^2-5x+6 has factorization (x-3)(x-2)
because -3(-2)=6 and -3+(-2)=-5

Answer 8

(b-7) (b-24)?
