X^2 + 3x - 18

2 numbers that multiplied give you -18
Those same 2 numbers have to add up to 3

Since this is simple integer factors.  For a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c, there will be two values, j and k, which satisfy to conditions:

jk=ac=-18 and j+k=b=3, so j and k must be 6 and -3

So factored this is:  (x+6)(x-3)
