OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya i get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u mean

Directrix (directrix):

>> is the answer ab(ab+4)a(a+4b) No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how do u do it

Directrix (directrix):

ab + 4 + a + 4b = ab + a + 4b +4 Agree? @Shannon20150

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed how do u solve it

Directrix (directrix):

ab + a + 4b +4 = (ab + a) + (4b + 4) = a*(b + 1) + 4*(b + 1) = Agree so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Directrix (directrix):

(b + 1) is a common factor a*(b + 1) + 4*(b + 1) = (b + 1) [a + 4] = (b + 1) (a + 4) --> Answer Agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank u so much

Directrix (directrix):

I did that one. So, may I write a problem for you to do to practice. Practice is the only way I know to learn to factor.

Directrix (directrix):

Directrix (directrix):
