Hey there!

We can first factor out the 4 (bring it outside the parenthesis)

Now have a closer look between the parenthesis, because this expression can be factored as well. We're looking for two different numbers with a product of -6 and a sum of 5. Hence, we find the numbers 6 and -1

Suppose the 3 squirrels all wanted to store acorns for the winter.
Depending on how motivated. Each squirrel was they would end up with
different amounts. For instance suppose the brown squirrel took 4 trips,
the gray squirrel took 2 trips, and the black squirrel took 2 trips.
The Brown squirrel would end up with 8 acorns, the gray squirrel would
have 6 acorns and the black squirrel would have 10. Between them they
took every one of the 24 acorns.
Hope it helps.
