Question

some one factor 2x^2-27x+36

Answer 1

Factor by grouping

$(x-12)(2x-3)$

Answer 2

I will show how 2*36=71 72 what factors of 72 add to -27 -3 and -24 split it up like that 2x^2-24x-3x+36 gropu first 2 and last 2 (2x^2-24x)+(-3x+36) undistribute common term (2x)(x-12)+(-3)(x-12) we can reverse distribute, remember ab+ac=a(b+c), theh (x-2) is the a (2x-3)(x-12)
