Answer 3

that should make it easier!

Answer 4

look up on google, factoring box theory. it is super easy and fast for factoring and once you learn it you will never forget it

Answer 5

@mathaccount, i find that way more confusing

Answer 6

doesn't matter what you find easy or hard, if it works for him then thats all that counts. i found it to be the fastest and easiest way to factor

Answer 7

does matter what you find easy or hard either...so you mentioning it should just be saying its another way if it doesnt matter who finds what easy. I simply said that so if it doesnt make sense to him that he can just go back to factoring and not everybody understands or likes the box method.

Answer 8

ill try the box method real quick but i like what hope said

Answer 9

thanks :D, after you have been doing factoring for a while, i guess the same for the box method, it just starts getting easier and easier. i would say when you are factoring if you stick with that to get the x^2 or whatever variable is squared alone.

Answer 10
