Week 3

It's been a while since I have factored and I was a little rusty but I quickly got the hang of it until we added a number not equal to 1 for the a value. I was having a hard time trying to understand how to factor it. The aerial view squares where helpful at first but when I tried to do it on my own I wasn't sure what I was doing. I tried really hard to understand what I was doing wrong so I took a break from trying to solve and thought it over in my head. I realized that I wasn't making sure the x value numbers in the diamond need to multiply to equal the a*c and add up to equal the b value.
