Factor jm + jn + km + kn.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer (n+j)(k+m)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's find out (n+j)(k+m) n(k+m) + j(k+m) nk + nm + jk + jm So we have kn, but no km we have jm, but no jk So it's not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is (j+m)(n+k)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(j+m)(n+k) j(n+k) + m(n+k) jn + jk + mn + mk So we have an mn term here, but that's not in the original expression so that's wrong too

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Hint: jm + jn + km + kn j(m + n) + k(m + n)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is this (j + k)(m + n)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
