Use the identity a
– b
= (a + b)(a – b) to factor x
– 4.
Therefore,
25.
SOLUTION:
Factor 12c from the first two terms and –d from the last two terms.
Factor 4g + 3f from the two terms.
Therefore,
.

SOLUTION:
Find the factors of –22 whose sum is –9.
2(–11) = –22 and 2 + (–11) = –9
Write –9x as 2x –11x.
Factor x from the first two terms and –11 from the last two terms.
