To solve this, we have to know what it'll look like:
(x + )(x + )
We also know 2 numbers will multiply to get 12, but add to get 8. Let's go through the factors of 12 to see what makes 8.
1 + 12 = 13
2 + 6 = 8
3 + 4 = 7
And we found it! 2 and 6 multiply to get 12, but add to get 8. So, plug them in.
(x + 2)(x + 6)
Just to double check, let's multiply it out.
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12
x^2 + 8x + 12
Perfect! Hope this helps!
