Answer 6

I have and explanation i am new to this so i dont think it was ok to say something like that . D is the correct answer because if you do borrow pay back you get
x^2 + 10x + 24 you then factor that out and get (x+6) (x+4) because 6 and 4 multiplies to get 24 and adds to get 10. you then pay back the 2 and 6 divided by 2 is 3 and 4 divided by 2 is 2

Answer 14

@KendrickLamar2014 @autumnbombb

Answer 15

are you multiplying the third line by 2 ?

Answer 16

No.... For the third line I just added 2x + 3x to get 5x.

Answer 17

I multiplied the last (fourth) line by 2.

Answer 18

so wouldnt you just multiply the 5 by 2 as well ?

Answer 19

If you did you would get a 2, which would make A. an incorrect answer, right?

Answer 20

oh , no you do multiplication so you multiple 2(x+2) together and get
(2x+4) tehn multiply that by (x+3)
