5. ℎ2 + 5ℎ − 24

B. Factoring the 𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄. Factor each completely if possible.

1. 𝒙𝟐 + 12𝑥 + 27, find the two numbers by listing the pairs of integers whose product is 27 and whose sum is 12.

Factor of 12 Sum
2. e𝟐 − 10𝑒 − 39, find the two numbers by listing the pairs of integers whose product is -39 and whose sum is -10.

3. c 2 − 7𝑐 + 6, find the two numbers by listing the pairs of integers whose product is 6 and whose sum is -7.

Test III. Factoring Trinomials𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝐜.

A. Fill in each box to complete each equation.
