    Answer: (x-2) (x-4)

    Step-by-step explanation: Let's factor x2-6x+8

    x2-6x+8

    The middle number is - 6 and the last number is 8.

    Factoring means we want something like

    (x+_) (x+_)

    Which numbers go in the blanks?

    We need two numbers that ...

    Add together to get - 6

    Multiply together to get 8

    Can you think of the two numbers?

    Try - 2 and - 4:

    -2+-4 = - 6

    -2*-4 = 8

    Fill in the blanks in

    (x+_) (x+_)

    with - 2 and - 4 to get ...

    (x-2) (x-4)
