Question 257298: I have a factoring math problem.******I didn't include the problem on my other one. Here is the corrected math problem question*****************

Factoring: Find GCF - Reverse Foil (Quadratic - 2 binomials)
x^2 + 5x + 6
My answer is: (x-1)(x+5)
I don't know about this one.
Please let me know.

Question 257289: Multiply and Divide Polynomials - including FOIL
I want to make sure that my answers are correct. Please let me know.
(ab)(ab)= my answer is A^2+ b^2 + ab + ba
With this one, I just want to make sure that ab & ba aren't able to be combined. I don't think so, but please let me know.

(y-6)(y+3) = my answer is y^2 - 3y - 18
I'm pretty confident about this one.
Last one:
Find the area of a rectangle

one side is 9x and the other side is 3x^2 + 2
so, a= l X w
27x^3 + 18x
I think I am right.
Thank you!!!
