a-13a is the question
Parth (parthkohli):
No, it is not correct!
Parth (parthkohli):
\[a(13 - a) = 13a - a^2 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get that?
Parth (parthkohli):
Well, never mind that, but a - 13a is not equal to a(13 - a)

Parth (parthkohli):
If you know a little about factorization, then, a - 13a is equal to a(1 - 13) You can simplify 1 - 13.
Parth (parthkohli):
What is 1 - 13?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-12
Parth (parthkohli):
Right, and what is a(-12) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-12a
