the only possible combinations for the first terms are 8g and 1g or 2g and 4g because those are the only two combinations that will mutliply to give 8g^2.  Try 4g and 2g

(4g  ?)  (2g   ?)

to get the last 3 we need a 3 and a 1. The signs both have to be negative because we have a positve 3 as the final term in the polynomial and a -14g as the middle term. negative times negative = positive.

Let's try (4g - 1)(2g - 3)

Mutiply using distributive property to check your answer

4g times 2g is 8g^2

4g times -3 is -12g

-1 times 2g is -2g

-1 times -3 is 3

combine like terms

8g^2-14g+3

The answer checks out.
