okay so you would first multiply the two first numbers in the equation 2X x 3X =? then O. You multiply the outer numbers in the equation 2X x 4 =? Then I. You multiply the inner numbers in the equation 5 x 3X=? Then L. You multiply the last numbers in the equation 5 x 20=? Now find an equation that would fit 2X x 3X, 2X x 4, 4 x 3X, and 5 x 20, which would be __________________________

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh anyway I'd first solve the equation which is 6x^2+8X+15X+20. Then I'd solve the multiple questions to see which one matches the equation a
