OpenStudy (anonymous):

x - 3?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

that is not an option :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x +3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got it, just wrong sign lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why +?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's -6x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I mean the answer is x + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I get x + 3 from factoring -6x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I figured since i started with -6 it would be -3
