Step 1: Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order; the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power.
Step 2 : Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.
Step 3 : Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.
Step 4 : List all of the factors from Step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x.
Step 5 : After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3.
Step 6 : Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5.
Step 7 : Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping.
My answer is a and c becuase they equal the same on each side
Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.
Let's see how the line segment looks like first.
Line segment VX is 14 units long.
14
______________
V X
W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.
3 ?
______________
V W X
We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.
We have to set up our equation like this:
x + 3 = 14
Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.
14 - 3 = 11
3 11
______________
V W X
