Start by multiplying (g+4) times (g-2), if that doesn't equal g^2-2g-24, then try the next one.

phebe · Answer

ok thanx but can u giv mehh the direct answer becuz im kinda in a hurry k

anonymous · Answer

Practicing these is probably the best way to get faster at them, and thus, decrease your hurry.

phebe · Answer

ok ok well i think its C ami right

anonymous · Answer

No.

anonymous · Answer

Try looking at just the last terms. The first ones will always be g^2, so that doesn't tell you much. But you know the last term is a product of the constants.

phebe · Answer

ohh yeaaa so its A

anonymous · Answer

not quite :)
(q+4)(q-2) = q^2 +2q - 8
not the g^2-2g-24 that you were looking for :)
guess again?

phebe · Answer

C then

phebe · Answer

i meant D

anonymous · Answer

no, not D either
(q+4)(q+2) = q^2 + 6q + 8

phebe · Answer

i think its B my cousin told mehh

anonymous · Answer

lol yes, but you have completely guessed.
