@rtraylor3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't tell the answer!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think Gaby?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

thi one is tricky ummm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you can't tell, you can also go through the answers and distribute and see which one gives you the first expression.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't guess how you ended up with c?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i ended up with b ... not c

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

whoops i put c instead of b!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is wrong too

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

that leaves me off with A but how do u do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no y in 3x^2 to take it in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have A and Prime left as answers

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

what does prime mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no solution if it is prime.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL you cant take common anything from those two

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@rtraylor3 i give up lol how do i do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gaby, there is nothing in common between those two as aajugdar said. Because of that, you can't factor it anymore. It's prime.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

oh... ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand or are you just taking the answer?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i understand .... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me tell you when you are factorizing then you are converting something into prime for example a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b) now you have two terms that cant be factorized further more so its prime equation

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ohhhh ok thak you
