I got (x+7)(x+3)

Answer 15

its way off

Answer 16

okay leading coefficient of quadratic equation is one
to check your answer
multiply both number (x +7)(x+3)
so multiply 7 times 3 you should get last term
and if you multiply those two number you should get middle term

Answer 17

yeah its the middle term

Answer 18

to factor this one you should get two number
if you multiply them you should get last term
and if you add or subtract them you should get middle term which is 6
