Answer:
(x + 10)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 18x + 80
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 80) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 18)
The factors are + 10 and + 8 , since
10 × 8 = + 80 and 10 + 8 = + 18 , then
x² + 18x + 80 = (x + 10)(x + 8) ← in factored form
