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.
Two is a prime factor of that equation.

Since the problem has 4 terms, first you factor x cubed plus 9x squared, then you factor 2x plus 18. So when you factor the first two term, you would get x sqaured (x plus 9). Then when you factor the last two terms and you get 2 (x plus 9). Ypure final answer would be (x squared plus 2)(x plus 9)

Factor out -2: -2(x squared +11x-20). This is fully factored.
it is 2y squared + 3y
(x-1)(x+2)
x2 + 36 cannot be factored. You can only factor the difference of two squares, not the sum.
Five squared is 25, and two squared is 4. When you add these together, 25 plus 4 equals 29. Therefore, five squared plus two squared is 29.
(a - 2)(a^2 + 6)
By factoring I get x-3 divided by x+3
