Question

Ok my peeps, I'm stuck. What is the last step? Again with the factoring.

1. Original prob. (x + 4)^2 - (x - 2)^2

=[(x+4) - (x-2)][(x+4)+(x-2)]
=[x+4-x+2][x+4+x-2]
= ???

I don't even know if I did it right in the first place lol. Correct me if I'm wrong yall.

Answer 1

just keep goin

Answer 2

yes you simplified it perfectly the expression just simplifies to a linear one

Answer 3

Lol @ Jah, just keep going? I dont even know where to go from there. Eh w/e I'll leave it like that O.o

Answer 4

...the first term becomes 2 so and so forth

Answer 5

12(x+1)

Answer 6

the first term u have:
(x+4-x+2)
the x's cancel out and the 4+2 becomes 6

Answer 7

I'm having a blonde moment but ok. N Mak thanx.

Answer 8

2nd term:
(x+4+x-2)=
2x+2

so all together its
6(2x+2)
so factor out the 2 and u get
12(x+1)

Answer 9

OMG JAH ! Thanks, I needed a step by step explanation.

Answer 10
