Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (2x2 +  x) -  528

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x²+x-528 

The first term is,  2x²  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  +x  its coefficient is  1 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -528 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -528 = -1056 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -1056  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -32  and  33 
                     2x² - 32x + 33x - 528

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    2x • (x-16)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    33 • (x-16)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (2x+33)  •  (x-16)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

  (x - 16) • (2x + 33)
