Question

simplify x^2+9x+20. Is the answer the same as the question?

Answer 1

It can be factored into (x+4)(x+5), but I'm not sure which is simpler.

Answer 2

I would guess the answer is the question.

Answer 3

Thanks! That is what I kept coming up with.

Answer 4

actually @bazinga276 you're right with the factored form. "answer same as question" means the expression is prime. but this isnt prime so (x+5)(x+4) is right

Answer 5

Thank you!
