OpenStudy (anonymous):

What times what equals x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so our first terms will be 'x': \((x +~ \! \!? )(x +~ \! \! ? )\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What times what equals 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so those are our other two terms: \((x + 4)(x + 2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you for helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, the order doesn't matter, we can also write it like: \((x + 2)(x + 4)\)
