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.

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.

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?

Good :)

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
