anonymous · Answer

agree!!!

anonymous · Answer

I had all the right numbers, but can't figure out the rhyme or reason for the order. Any tips? Thank you all

anonymous · Answer

order isnt importand

saifoo.khan · Answer

umm, there is noprob in order.

katrinakaif · Answer

You dont need the order in factoring.

anonymous · Answer

hmmm... then how come an answer of (w+4)(3w+2) is wrong?

katrinakaif · Answer

That order doesnt matter ;)

anonymous · Answer

you changed the matter in the brackets not the order of brackets

katrinakaif · Answer

Nailed it

saifoo.khan · Answer

Look, as u r going to multiply.. it will become:

3w^2 + 2w + 12w + 8
3w^2 + 12w + 8

anonymous · Answer

3w^2+6w+4w+8
3w(w+2)+4(w+2)
(3w+4)(w+2)

anonymous · Answer

that is the complete solution

saifoo.khan · Answer

yes, so Sungirl... your factorization was incorrect.

katrinakaif · Answer

(w+4)(3w+2) this OR (3w + 2) (w +4)..it doesnt matter
What DOES matter if its 
(w + 2) (3w +4) INSTEAD of (w +4)(3w + 2)

I need to keep working on this apparently, I'm taking one little wrong step somewhere. I'm using the FOIL method, maybe it's not the way to go but the way that's being taught right now...
