Question

How do I work it out step by step y^2+5y+6

Answer 1

Hello There!

Here is how to do step by step!

The middle number is 5 and the last number is 6.

Factoring means we want something like

(y+_)(y+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks we ask?

We need two numbers that...

• Add together to get 5
• Multiply together to get 6

Can you think of the two numbers?

Fill in the blanks in

(y+_)(y+_)

with 2 and 3 to get...

(y+2)(y+3)

Get your answer: (y+2)(y+3)

Hope This Helps!

Answer 2

7y+6

Explanation

You have to do 2 times y first. That is 2y. Then you have to add 2y plus 5y, which is 7y. 7y plus 6 equals 7y+6.
