What is the missing number that will complete the factorization

What is the missing number that will complete the factorization? a2 + 8a + 12 = (a + 2)(a + )

Answered by maham237 @



It is 6. I found this by diving 12 by 2 because 2 and the missing number need to have a product of 12. Here's the proof if you want it!

(a+2)(a+6)

a^2 + 2a + 6a + 12

a^2 + 8a + 12
