_____
If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:
x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1
x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)
x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12
Answer:
[x-3] [x+4]
Step-by-step explanation:
You look to see if you spot the appropriate factors strait away. If you can not immediately determine them you have to consider all of the potential ones and reason out which ones work.
