2(x + 13)
The difference of two squares a2 - b2 factors to (a - b)(a + b)
That doesn't factor neatly. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two imaginary solutions: -2 plus or minus i times the square root of 17.x = -2 + 4.123105625617661ix = -2 - 4.123105625617661iwhere i is the square root of negative one.
The factors of 3 are 1 and 3 The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18
(x - 2)(x - 4) are the factors, assuming "= 0" was omitted.
