do you understand how I would get \[103 = (x+6)(3x-2) ~-(x-1)(2x)\]

Joe348:

Yes

snowflake0531:

great now can you factor it out, and put it all to one expression?

Joe348:

\[103=3x^2-12\] is that right?

Joe348:

for the first part?

snowflake0531:

no, \[(a+b)(c+d) = ac+ad+bc+bd\]

snowflake0531:

\[103 = (x+6)(3x-2) ~-(x-1)(2x)\\103= 3x^2-2x+18x-12-(2x^2-2x)\\103 = 3x^2+16x-12-2x^2+2x\\103=x^2+18x-12\\0=x^2+18x-115\]

Joe348:

how come the 2x^2 is x^2?

snowflake0531:

3x^2 - 2x^2

Joe348:

oh okay
