I’m used to factoring but this different

[manic ginkgo]

okok

[rapid sigil]

Helplpppp

[manic ginkgo]

hm let me use paint to explain this

[rapid sigil]

alright

[manic ginkgo]

here we have the expression, with what methods you could resolve this?

[rapid sigil]

factoring

[manic ginkgo]

watch carefully the expression

yeah, but how

[rapid sigil]

i did the method i only knew

[manic ginkgo]

that 9 and 64 seems suspicious

both 9 and 64 are square numbers of something

[rapid sigil]

find factors that add up to -48 and multiply to get 576
#'s = a times c
#'s = that add up to b

what

oh

[rapid sigil]

3^2

8^2

but what do i do with that

[manic ginkgo]

well, its 3^2 and 8^2

[rapid sigil]

oops ye

but how is it suppose to be written out

[manic ginkgo]

you remember this formula?

[rapid sigil]

yes

but

I still got 48x

so

(3x + 8)^2???

[manic ginkgo]

what if instead of a+b is (a-b)^2

[rapid sigil]

is it both negatives

[manic ginkgo]

need a hand to understand the formula?

[rapid sigil]

I already know the formulas bro..

nvm I'll do this myself

[manic ginkgo]
