1) Find two numbers that multiply to -8 and add to 2. Factor of (-8) Sum of (2).

This is 2 * (-4)= -8 and -2 + 4= 2.

2) Then put it in factor mode. (X-2)(X+4). Use distributive property.

3) After that, set it to 0. 0= X-2 Add (+) 2 to both sides.

Cross out the negative and positive 2's. 0 + 2 is 2 = X.

4) Do the same for 4.

5) GGOD LUCK & HOPE U PASS :)
