HELP PLEASE BOOBS FOR ANSWER? Factor first, combine like terms, then distribute: (x+3)(3x+8)-3x(x+3)

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

What do you mean boobs for answers??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer first! explain later! Need to hand this in tonight!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay first ... (x+3)(3x+8)(-3x^2-9x) Then ... (3x^2+9x+8x+24)(-3x^2-9x) Are you getting this??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i could have sworn i just did this exact problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes what next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay once again you simplify like terms (3x^2+17x+24) (-3x^2-9x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but wait thats not factoring first is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you have to add the 9x and 8x cause thier like terms -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i understand that i mean was that factoring in the first step? wasn't that distributing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, yes your right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to factor it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i'm doing it right now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x^2+17x+24) (-3x^2-9x) So then... (-9x^4 -27x^2-51x^3-153x^2-72x^2-216x) Next you just combine all like terms, so ... -9x^4-51x^3-54x^2-216x Okay, I'm pretty sure that this is right. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you understand??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! thank you so much:) i really appreciate it
