Should probably explain why other than just giving her the answer, no offense, man. Sydney, do you know how to factor?

anonymous · Answer

not very well

schrodinger · Answer

Of course, but i'd rather ask before doing so. This could have been either a lack of understanding or laziness, and before making any presumptions, I asked her if she knew how.

anonymous · Answer

(x – 6y)(x – 4y)

anonymous · Answer

D.(x – 6y)(x – 4y)
I got this correct on my test.
