first you factor out 2*(x^2-x-6)

Answer 6

then (x^2-x-6)=(x-3)(x+2) cause 3 and -2 are the roots of this equation.

Answer 7

and together it makes 2(x-3)(x+2)

Answer 8

the answer that came up on the review is
(2x+4)(x-3) how did they get this?

Answer 9

well 2(x-3)(x+2) => (x-3)*2*(x+2) => (x-3) (2x+4) => (2x+4)(x-3)

Answer 10

2*(x+2) => (2x+4) :)
