Factoring the hard trinomial by decomposition

How to factor a trinomial where the coefficient of the quadratic How to factor a trinomial where the coefficient of the quadratic term is not 1 and does not go into the other coefficient using the "decomposition method". This video is the 10th out of 16 in the Factoring series. The other three series are "Solving Equations", "Word Problems" and "Graphing".

@loveisanoption I am happy that you're learning this in the eight grade. Surprised though. Are you in a normal class or an advanced class. It wouldn't seem that eight graders are doing this normally in a country where your overall Math ranking is so low. I'm not trying to be snotty here, I am just surprised. Here, in Canada, your typical 8th grader is no where near this.

@ramsta93 I'm not sure what AS/A Level Math is. Here in British Columbia, Canada, this is taught at the Grade 10 level.

thanks for walking us through every step; if were looking for extra help how to factor, we probably want someone to EXPLAIN it ;)

is it just me or does anyone else not have audio on this video?

P.S. YES my volume is up and not muted, neither is the video and my audio works fine on other youtube videos.
