And a^2 can give you what?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
That is correct so you can tenetatively put
( 5a ) ( 5a ) up front because when you F them you will get 25 a^2. Now how about the 49?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
And you know from Foil that the last term is just from L so tentatively put
( 5a + - 7 ) ( 5a + - 7 ) Now you have to figure whether it is plus or minus 7 for each one. Any ideas?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Yes, I am nore vicious than ever. I plan to drive you like a dog. Making you do one problem after another for my amusement.
You were trying to figure the sign in both parentheses.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
In math you do not have to ask someone else whether it is right or not. Everyone has the ability to find answers for themselves. This is not Astronomy or Genetics, yechchhch! How can you prove you are right?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Well... um...
49 was positive, therefore since we are factoring a positive number the two number that came out should be positive too?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
I say that is false. Now how are you going to prove you are right and that I am an idiot. In math we prove things. You have to convince me that you are right! Now, how are you going to do that?
