OpenStudy (anonymous):

3b^2-9b-3b-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i divide 3 across - simple mtethod

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take out the greatest common factor in the 1st 2 terms, then the GCF from the 2nd 2 terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can say (3b-9) (b-3) iif you are solving for x - either way is acceptablle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah you're right didn't even notice that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have to leave the 3 in though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your reply would be 3(b-3)(b-1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
