The expression is .

Apply commutative property of addition: .

The general factor trinomial form is .

In the above trinomial, .

Since c is negative, the factors m and p have opposite signs.

So either m or p is negative, but not both.

Since b is negative, the factor with the greater absolute value is also negative.

List the factors of , where one factor of each pair is negative and look for the pair of factors with a sum of .

Apply the pattern form: when .

 because .

Check:To check the solution by multiplying the two factors and this result should be equal to the original expression.

Rewrite as the sum of two products.

Apply distributive property: .

Combine like terms.
