I can help, but it would also help if you were there. You there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am. :) I'm so lost on how to do this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, So what values make up six? like what do you multiply by what to make up 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe in simpler words. What times what is going to be 6.

Hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey , sorry. 3 and 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(internet is a bit slow, I apologize.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. It seems to lag everywhere. Okay, back to the question. So you said 2 and 3. Now What values would it take to add to 5. EX 2*3=6 OR -2*-3=6 2+3 = 5 OR -2+-3=-5. The values have to add up to the middle number, and be products of the last number

Does that make any sense?
