How can you solve quadratic equation in one variable using factoring method?

Take a quadratic equation in standard form:
If there exists a sum of two numbers that equal b, whose addends produce a product that equals c. You can rewrite the quadratic as a product of two binomials.

For example take
When thought through throughly, -5 had addends, -2 and -3 that produce 6 when multiplied
Thus, we can rewrite the quadratic as.

32
