(x + 6)(x + 2)In this problem, we're asked to factor the following expression:⇒ [tex]\sf x^2+8x+12[/tex]We start by thinking of two numbers that meet both of these conditions:→ When you add them, you get 8.→ When you multiply them, you get 12.These numbers are 6 and 2.Next, we write our problem this way:→ [tex]\sf (x \,+\quad)(x\,\quad)[/tex]Put the numbers 6 and 2 in the blanks:→[tex]\sf (x+6)(x+2)[/tex]
