what is "x" u mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x is just the variable.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
write the full equation and let me know what i need to solve for.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(x-1)(x-1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve for "x"?

if so, i would say x= 1, 1.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. Just solve.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hope that helps!

Your are simplifying not solving
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Would it be 2x^2-4x+2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok then, just distribute by multiplying using the foil method.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes you are right!
OpenStudy (jim766):
Yes

Yay! This stuff is harder for me. It's hard to follow. Would there be any more factoring involved or am I done?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Jim766 did u take differential equations already?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in this prob? in your class? i dont get what u mean?
OpenStudy (jim766):
No, not yet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its like a ghost town in that subject, even the moderator doesnt want to help.

Your done
OpenStudy (anonymous):
After I find 2x^2-4x+2, can it be factored or can I leave it alone?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh no, you started with factoring remember?
