Answer:

(x+2)(x−10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x-20

Factoring means  something like  this:

(x+_)(x+_)

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get -20

think of the two numbers

Try 2 and -10:

2+-10 = -8

2*-10 = -20

Fill in the blanks of  with 2 and -10 to get

(x+_)(x+_) = (x+2)(x−10)
