Anyone know how to factorise this please ?! :)

  a) (x +2)(x +3)

  b) x = -2 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The constants in the binomial factors will be divisors of 6 that have a sum of 5. You know that ...

  6 = 1×6 = 2×3

The sums of these factor pairs are 7 and 5. You want the pair 2, 3. The factors are ...

  x² +5x +6 = (x +2)(x +3)

__

b) The solutions to the equation are the values of x that make the factors zero:

  (x +2) = 0   ⇒   x = -2

  (x +3) = 0   ⇒   x = -3

b) 36

step-by-step explanation:

18 times 2 is 36

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -
