Are there factors of 144 that add/subtract to -25?

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Are you trying to factor using the FOIL method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Then yes it would be -9 and -16. Assuming your problem looks something like this: x^2-25x+144. Factored that would be: (x-9) (x-16)

That seems right
