Algebra.Com's Answer #172794 by checkley77(12844) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! NO the answer is not 2. \n" ); document.write( "What rule allows you to factor out b^2+8b and how does that leave you 2? \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "The proper solution follows: \n" ); document.write( "b^2+8b+16 \n" ); document.write( "(b+4)(b+4) \n" ); document.write( "(b+4)^2 ans. \n" ); document.write( " |
