Anything inside a square foot can be multiplied together. In this case, it forms :
So, B is the correct answer.
Technically, that expression can be further simplifyed, but that is not required on this question, so you're all good!
Answer:
You need to add the expressions. When you do I will edit my answer and give it to you.
There are many ways you can factor this.
1. 8(3p+8)
2. 4(6p+16)
3. 2(12p+32)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = a number and 2n = an even number, then ...
Let 2n + 1 = the first of three consecutive odd numbers.
Let 2n + 3 = the second of three consecutive numbers.
Let 2n + 5 = the third of three consecutive odd numbers.
Since it's given that the sum of our three consecutive odd numbers is 45, then we can write the following equation to be solved for the variable n:
(2n + 1) + (2n + 3) + (2n + 5) = 45
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 45
Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:
6n + 9 = 45
Now, subtracting 9 from both sides in order to begin isolating the unknown, n, on the left side:
6n + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9
6n + 0 = 36
6n = 36
Now, divide both sides by 6 in order to solve the equation for n:
(6n)/6 = 36/6
(6/6)n = 36/6
(1)n = 6
n = 6
Therefore, ...
2n + 1 = 2(6) + 1
= 12 + 1
= 13
2n + 3 = 2(6) + 3
