The trinomial expression is .

The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: , So a = 3, b = 8, c = 4.

To find two numbers with a sum of 8 and a product of .

This trinomial list of the factors of 12, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of 8.

The correct factors are 2 and 6.

To factor trinomials of the form , find two integers, m and n, with a sum equal to b and a product equal to c.

Then write  .

Group terms with common factors.

Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.

Check:

To check the solution by multiply the two factors.

    (Using FOIL method)

Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.

The solution is "true".

The solution is .
