Oh, dude, you've thrown me back to high school math class with that one. So, X2 - 16x + 28 is a quadratic expression that can be factored as (X - 14)(X - 2). That's like the math version of solving a puzzle, but like, who even uses this stuff in real life, am I right?

x2 - 16x + 28 = (x - 2)(x - 14). Even though you don't mention any factors below, it is easy to tell that the above-given two factors must be the ones you are looking for. If (14 - x) and (2 - x) are mentioned in your list, they would be good, also.
In the absence of signs I have assumed the term in 16x and 60 are negative: ie x2 - 16x = -60 or x2 - 16x + 60 = 0 Factors of 60 which total -16 are -6 and -10, so (x - 6)(x - 10)
12
X2 - 16X + 15 = 0 (X - 1)(X - 15) = 0 So X -1 = 0 or X - 15 = 0 ie X = 1 or X = 15
The value of x2+7x+10 depends on the value of X. If x=1, then x2+7x+10 = 18 If x=2, then x2+7x+10 = 28 If x=3, then x2+7x+10 = 40 and so forth
