Question 754620: HI,
I have been given a question on Factorising Quadratic Expressions, and need to put them into two sets of brackets. the Question that i am having difficulty on is
so far my thoughts are that the answer might be (2x+1) (x+___) however i am not sure that my current working is correct, If you would Please help then that would be much Appreciated
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi Josh,
You are almost there, mate.
Your brackets will be (2x + 5)(x + 1)
2x multiplies x = 2x^2
2x multiplies 1 = 2x
5 multiplies x = 5x
5 multiplies 1 = 5
Add together the 5x and 2x = 7x
2x^2 + 7x + 5
Hope this helps
:-)
