If after finding all the factors of the product of the highest term's coefficient and the linear term, none of the can add or subtract to give the middle term then it is not factorable.

x^2 +5x+6 is factorable. 1x6; 2x3

2+3=5 so it can be factored.

x^2+7x+6 is factorable but

x^2+8x+6 is NOT factorable because 1 and 6 as well as 2 and 3 can't add up to the middle term.

What is the difference in evaluating a polynomial and solving a polynomial?

Evaluating a polynomial is finding the value of the polynomial for a given value of the variable, usually denoted by x. Solving a polynomial equation is finding the value of the variable, x, for which the polynomial equation is true.
