Answer 1

First I would divide everything by 2...all numbers are even so it would make it easier...what is this entire equation / 2?

Answer 2

2a² + 30a + 100
---------------
2 2 2

a² + 15a + 50

make sense...?

Answer 3

Yeah, that's what I got.

Answer 4

perfect....so now....can you think of 2 numbers that add to get 15 and multiply to get 50?

Answer 5

10 and 5!

Answer 6

Perfect!

so this one is

(a + 10)(a + 5)

You sure you need help with these :P

Answer 7

sorry forgot the 2...2(x + 5)(x + 10)

Answer 8

You need to put the 2

Answer 9

wow, now it's right.

Answer 10

lol thanks @zairhenrique

Answer 11

Yeah, I usually do. > . < I'm really bad at algebra. One last question though. Can you make up a semi- easy problem to factor out by myself? :)

Answer 12

Sure...wait....do you want 1 to factor easy like this? or one that uses that quadratic formula?

Answer 13

Noooo no quadratic. XD I don't like those. Easy like this one.

Answer 14

Lol but you'll have to get use to it eventually :PP hang on...

Answer 15

Something quick. I gotta leave in like 5 minutes :P

Answer 16

4a²+20ab+24b²

Answer 17

Yikes o.o Uhhh, do I need to use quadratic or regular? >. <

Answer 18

Regular :)

Answer 19

Should I half the equation?

Answer 20

Answer 21

Answer 23

So what 2 numbers multiply to get 6 and add to get 5??

Answer 24

3 and 2 ^_^

Answer 25

Righttt...so we have

4(a + 3b)(a + 2b)

Right? :)

Answer 26

Yes! Thanks!

Answer 27

Just remember when you divide through (like by 4) you need to have that at the beginning of your factors :)
