SwaggyMark:

yes you can always simplify the factor to check your work (2x + 3) (x + 7) use FOIL Fronts 2x * x = 2x^2 Outers 2x * 7 = 14x Inners 3 * x = 3x Lasts 7 * 3 = 21 then add everything 2x^2 + 14x + 3x + 21 combine like terms 2x^2 + 17x + 21 we can conlude that (2x + 3) (x + 7) is the factored form of 2x^2 + 17x + 21

UkuleleGirl:
