This sentence is a statement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to solve 25+30x+9x^2 using factoring?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

notice '9' has four positive factors... 3, 3, 9 ,1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will have to look like: (3x+....) (3x+....) or (9x+....) (x+....)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 has four positive factors too... 5 5 1 and 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an example of a few possibilities...: (3x+1)(3x+25) (9x+1)(x+25) will either of those work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how would the whole problem look? because i thought it would be set up a different way.. like how would if look written out ( show work )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x^2+30x+25 =(3x)^2+2(3x)(5)+5^2 =(3x+5)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is the problem switched around?
