Please post your simplification (it's just algebra...)

x(x+2)[/quotec93e2fa2c1]
and you multiply the x wiht the parentheses to get x^2+2x

Well, I think it's pretty much the same either way shrug, since you can factor out the 'x'.

if you want it factored completely do it ajasax's way

It's alright PB. Maybe the extra-long divide line threw them off wink +Karma for getting in before me

I thought you said you were a national merit scholar or whatever in that other thread about you getting in a fight. Doesn't that mean you're really good at the psat?

Na I was in the national honors society. That is pretty much anyone with a B+ or higher. Heh. I am good at school, but these tests are kicking my ass. Hopefully I prepped enough so I can kick the asses of those tests. Senior year so I gotta do well on them. I won't be able to go to any of my top choices if I don't.

No you don't, because you can simplify x^2+2x by taking out the X and making it x(x+2)
