Answer 2

i used the box method for this

Answer 3

I am lost ......box method ? I dont think I have learned that yet or else I forgot it....please explain

Answer 4

ok so what two factors can you add to get 9 and multiply to get 18?
i just use a box to make it easier though
t^2 is t times t when factored
i got the 6 and 3 bc when you add them you get 9, when you multiply them together you get 18

Answer 5

Draw the box method. I would like to see it

Answer 6

There are multiple ways to go about this

Answer 7

okay I understand that, but how do you determine what t is using the box method?

Answer 8

How come you haven't drawn it yet?

Answer 9

ok you set (t+6)(t+3) each equal to 0
t=-6 and t=-3
