if u r in 9th+ u know

I am in the 7th grade..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then u cant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, sorry though, I didn't know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

danny boy hey so 48s+54 factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mail it too me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dan???

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (danjs):

sort of like multiplying by 1, looking to take the common pieces from each term there, only the constants appear in both terms, the greatest number you can pull out of each one...6 similar to multiplying by 1 or 6/6 \[\large \frac{ 6 }{ 6 }*(48s + 54) = 6*(\frac{ 48s }{ 6 }+\frac{ 54 }{ 6 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the answer??

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah , simplify the fractions, 6(8s + 9), no more common pieces in the quantity terms distributing that answer should take you back to the original thing

OpenStudy (danjs):

for constant values in all the terms, factor the gcf, for the variable terms common to all, take the highest power out that all terms contain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its incorrect

OpenStudy (danjs):

factoring like here is just seeing what numbers and variables all the terms contain, and writing that once in front, and then reduce each term by that amount to simplify 48s + 54 = 6*(8s + 9)

OpenStudy (danjs):

maybe typed something different than they want, computer graded?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i typed something wrong lol

OpenStudy (danjs):

for variables, for example something like x^2*y + x*y^2 both terms have a common x and y, the lowest common power, so it goes to (x*y)*(x + y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused to what the question is
