p2+14p+48 is the problem and to solve this problem we're going to factor The middle number is 14 and the last number is 48. We're trying to fill in (p+_)(p+_) so you have to find two numbers that can properly suit the problem Add together to get 14 Multiply together to get 48 6+8 = 14 6*8 = 48 So the answer would be (p+6)(p+8)
