1. Xcubed+3xsquared-54x: The first step needed to factor this problem is to take away the r's and put them where they need to go in and outside of the parenthesis. One r on the outside of the parenthesis, and two different sets of parenthesis with an r starting in each. Step two would be to find all of the numbers that in this case, go into 54. Once those numbers are found, find which two numbers subtract to 3.
