Unfortunately, you can't. If it were x2 + 2x - 3 ... you could factor it into (x-1)(x+3). Hope I helped!

Added:

X =[ - 2 (+/-) sqrt(- 8)]/2

would be the answer in complex fashion and and i, imaginary number answer would be forthcoming.

What is 9x squared plus 16 when factoring?

9x^(2) + 16 DOES NOT factor. Remember ; two squared terms with a plus(+) between them DOES NOT factor However, two squared terms with a minus(-) between them DOES factor . Hence 9x^(2) + 16 = (3x)^2) + 4^(2) does NOT factor However, 9x^(2) - 16 = (3x)^2) - 4^(2) does factor to ( (3x - 4)(3x + 4) Note the two different signs.
