You find 2 numbers with a difference or sum of 2 which multiply to give -8.

One possibility is that the numbers are -4 and 2, but the sign of the 2x term is needed. If the full equation is x2 - 2x - 8 then the factors are (x - 4)(x + 2)

On the other hand if the 2x term is positive the factors are (x + 4)(x - 2)
