How do I do this? 3 over 2a+6 (a squared +4a+3) @e.cociuba

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2a+6 } (A squared+4a+3)\] @e.cociuba

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

The directions are Multiply. Simplify your answer.

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

K Thx for the offer @e.cociuba

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

R u good at this? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first factor a^2 + 4a + 3

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

(a+1) (a+3) is the factorization.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now factor 2a+6

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

(a+3) (2+3)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

I meant (a+3) (2+2). @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

still not correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you factor out 2 to get 2(a+3)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

from here, something will cancel

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

What do I do after I factor?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see any terms that cancel?

OpenStudy (comm.dan):

Something with the a's.
