a2−12a+35

The middle number is -12 and the last number is 35.

Factoring means we want something like

(a+_)(a+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -12

Multiply together to get 35

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -5 and -7:

-5+-7 = -12

-5*-7 = 35

(a+_)(a+_)

with -5 and -7 to get...

(a-5)(a-7)
