Answer 2

can you please explain it.

Answer 3

Try factoring out the equation...
Both bx and c are positive.

Answer 4

Therefore we know that
the factors will be both be positive.

You can therefore eliminate option A and B

Answer 6

From there, which one of those would result in your original equation?
3x^2 + 10x + 3

Answer 7

(3x +1)(x+3)
Use foil,
3x times x =
3x times 3 =
1 times x =
1 times 3 =
Find the products and them combine the like terms.

Answer 8

(3x+1) (x+3)

Answer 9

hold on I'm going to explain it

Answer 10

I've already explained it.

Answer 11

Answer 16

can you try to explain how to do FOIL with C?

Answer 17

@shamil98 how did you get 10 using foil? can you please explain? I'm stuck.

Answer 18

(3x + 1)(x + 3)
3x^2 (3x times x)
3x times 3 = 9x
1(x) = x
1(3) = 3
add those together
3x^2 + 9x + x + 3
3x^2 + 10x + 3

Answer 19

3x^2 +10x+3...it would be Multiply 3x by x, then multiply 1 by x and 1 by 3, then combine like terms...being 9x and x. therfore you get 3x^2+10x+3

Answer 20

@christianfilms11 does that help?
