a+b=24 ab=9\times 16=144
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 9g^{2}+ag+bg+16. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
1,144 2,72 3,48 4,36 6,24 8,18 9,16 12,12
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 144.
1+144=145 2+72=74 3+48=51 4+36=40 6+24=30 8+18=26 9+16=25 12+12=24
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=12 b=12
The solution is the pair that gives sum 24.

Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.

x ^ 2 +\frac{8}{3}x +\frac{16}{9} = 0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by a new direct factoring method that does not require guess work. To use the direct factoring method, the equation must be in the form x^2+Bx+C=0.This is achieved by dividing both sides of the equation by 9
r + s = -\frac{8}{3} rs = \frac{16}{9}
Let r and s be the factors for the quadratic equation such that x^2+Bx+C=(x−r)(x−s) where sum of factors (r+s)=−B and the product of factors rs = C
r = -\frac{4}{3} - u s = -\frac{4}{3} + u
Two numbers r and s sum up to -\frac{8}{3} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*-\frac{8}{3} = -\frac{4}{3}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C. The values of r and s are equidistant from the center by an unknown quantity u. Express r and s with respect to variable u. <div style='padding: 8px'><img src='https://opalmath.azureedge.net/customsolver/quadraticgraph.png' style='width: 100%;max-width: 700px' /></div>
(-\frac{4}{3} - u) (-\frac{4}{3} + u) = \frac{16}{9}
To solve for unknown quantity u, substitute these in the product equation rs = \frac{16}{9}
\frac{16}{9} - u^2 = \frac{16}{9}
Simplify by expanding (a -b) (a + b) = a^2 – b^2
-u^2 = \frac{16}{9}-\frac{16}{9} = 0
Simplify the expression by subtracting \frac{16}{9} on both sides
u^2 = 0 u = 0
Simplify the expression by multiplying -1 on both sides and take the square root to obtain the value of unknown variable u
r = s = -\frac{4}{3} = -1.333
The factors r and s are the solutions to the quadratic equation. Substitute the value of u to compute the r and s.
