Answer:
(3x - 2)(3x - 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
9x^2-18x+8
Use the 'ac' method:
9 * 8 = 72.
We need 2 numbers whose product is + 72 and whose sum is -18
These are -12 and -6 so we rewrite the expression as:
9x^2 - 12x - 6x + 8 Now we factor by grouping:
= 3x(3x - 4) - 2(3x - 4) The 3x - 4 is common so we have:
(3x - 2)(3x - 4).
