I need to simplify this.
(x+2)² x 2 + (2x-2)(x+4) x 2 + (2x-2)(x+4) x 2
Ive only gotten to the factoring the 2 away from the equation. Please help.

Question

I need to simplify this.
(x+2)² x 2  +   (2x-2)(x+4) x 2  +  (2x-2)(x+4) x 2 
Ive only gotten to the factoring the 2 away from the equation. Please help.

If you expand everything and collect like terms you will get:
$$10x^2+32x-24$$

mertsj · Answer

And it will not factor except for factoring out a 2

anonymous · Answer

It can still be factored. after the 2.

anonymous · Answer

5x^2+16x^3-12x^2 is  the answer.

Luis to the rescue.

anonymous · Answer

Am I wrong? If so, how :/

anonymous · Answer

Basically I have to divide (x+4)(x+4(2x-2)
                                      -------------
                                      (x+2)² x 2  +   (2x-2)(x+4) x 2  +  (2x-2)(x+4) x 2

anonymous · Answer

and the answer is (x+4)(x-1)
                          ---------
                                5x

Thanks. I was afraid my mathematic prowess was in danger. :)

anonymous · Answer

Thata me. A COMEDIAN. I actually suck at math.. unfortunately for you all.

anonymous · Answer

Sorry not simplify more of factoring.

anonymous · Answer

I think I saw some one  do a polynomial equation wrong earlier... lol

anonymous · Answer

luis could you help me out ?

anonymous · Answer

Well, ok, luis and michu, it was nice to michu. lol sorry, I had to point that out. (Now harm meant)
