Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Look at your b and b^2 when you do F you are going to get b^3. Is that what you want?

Yes but you do not need b^2, you need 10 b^2.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
What gets the the first term? It is F. The two first terms get multiplied.

So why is the 5b at the wrong end?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Okay, that might be the 10b^2. Now how about the rest of those parentheses.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
We can factor 3?
(2b + 3)(5b + 1)
F~ 10b^2
O~ 2b
I~ 15b
L~ 3
=10b^2 + 2b + 15b + 3
= 10b^2 + 17b + 3
Darn close?
