@mathstudent55 you told me the answer to this one a few days ago can you help me again with this one

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I just did it maybe 5 minutes ago.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

i dont remember

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

First, deal with the multiplication. Example: If you have 5 * 6, or 7 * x, or xy, in each of these expressions, you have a multiplication of two factors. The same way, in your problem, you are multiplying two factors. One factor is 7 + y, and the other factor is 9. Now that we have dealt with the multiplication part, we look at the factor 7 + y. This factor is a polynomial of two terms. Now put the two parts together and match it to one of the choices.

You closed it. Maybe you didn't notice I had answered.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Yea i diddnt sorry

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

its "B" pr "C"

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice these two sentences I wrote in my explanation: "The same way, in your problem, you are multiplying two factors." "... we look at the factor 7 + y. This factor is a polynomial of two terms."

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

is it "B" cause i see that it does show 2 terms

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How many factors are you multiplying? Don't guess, just read what I wrote above.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

well i am "muilriplying " 1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

"The same way, in your problem, you are multiplying \(\bf \Large \color{red}{~two ~factors."} \) "... we look at the \(\bf \Large\color{red}{factor~ 7 + y}\). This factor is a polynomial of \(\bf \Large \color{red}{two~ terms."}\)

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

OOOHHHH SO ITS "A"A"A"A""A"A"A""A"A"A"A"A""A"

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

tweww tewee TWOOO

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

thank you so much

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to read the explanations I give. You could have answered easily if you read the explanation in the first place.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

yea sorry about that :/

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No problem. You finally did get it. That's great.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.
