x2+14x+48 = (x+_)(x+_)
You need to look for two numbers
that multiply to 48
and add to 14
Since everything is positive the numbers will both be positive.
lets see, look at the muliply first,
12*4 =48 but 12+4=16, that is no good.
6*8=48 and 6+8=14 wonderful
so tha answer is
(x+6)(x+8)
x2+14x+48 = (x+_)(x+_)
