Question: x 2 5 x + 6 solved using the AC method. = x 2 2 x 3 x + 6 = ( x 2 2

x25x+6

solved using the AC method.

=x22x3x+6

=(x22x)+(3x+6)

=x(x2)3(x2)

=(x3)(x2)

What I don't understand is=x(x2)3(x2) how do I drop the x and -3 to get(x - 2) and (x - 3)?

Is it because you combine like terms? You drop the x and -2 leaving you with (x - 2) (x - 3)
