anonymous · Answer

sorry my bad

anonymous · Answer

8 and 9 doesn't equal 11..

zzr0ck3r · Answer

we want to things that multiply to = 6*4 but add to equal 11
two such numbers are 8 and 3

so expant the middle term

6y^2 +3y+8y+4

note: I put the 3 on the left so that it would factor out nicely.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

anonymous · Answer

jsut clearing up my mistake

anonymous · Answer

so then 6y^2+3y+8y+4 factors out to y(6y+3)+2(6y+2)? @zzr0ck3r

zzr0ck3r · Answer

no factor out a 3y from the first 2 terms and a 4 from the last 2 and tell me what you get

anonymous · Answer

ohhh ok i see! so i get 3y(2y)+4(2y)

zzr0ck3r · Answer

lets jsut look at the first two terms

6y^2+3y

factor out a 3y (devide both terms by 3y)
3y(2y+1))
