8a^2-22ab+12b^2

ya i di that i just want to see my answer compared to yours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so if you factor out the 2, you get 2(4a^2-11ab+6b^2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand how I got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4a^2 can equal (2a)(2a) or (4a)(1a) In this case, we need to use (4a)(1a). So, the solution is (4a-3)(a-2) If you want to check, multiply it out and you get the original equation. I hope that helped (:
