To find the number of even factors, we can multiply the number of odd factors by the power of 2 (not the power of 2 + 1!!!). For 540, we have (3 + 1)(1 + 1)(2) = 16 even factors.
Hey!
Hope this helps...

Generally what I like to do, to solve questions like this is to substitute the given answers into the equation to solve this faster...
Equation: x^2 + 10x + 12 = 36
A.) (-12)^2 + 10(-12) + 12 = 36
144 - 120 + 12 = 36
24 + 12 = 36
36 = 36
(2)^2 + 10(2) + 12 = 36
4 + 20 + 12 = 36
24 + 12 = 36
36 = 36
Since we found the answer with the first try, we already know the correct answer is A.
So...
The Correct answer is: A.) x=-12 or x=2
18x + 8x = -3
26x = -3
x = -3/26
