Im trying to help son with homework. He says my answer is wrong. Please help.
Factor: x(x+2)+(x+2)
--------------------------
x(x+2)+(x+2)
= x*(x+2)+1*(x+2)
= (x+1)*(x+2)
--------------
another way to do this
x(x+2)+(x+2)
= x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+x+%2B+2
= x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+2
= (x+1)*(x+2)
-----------------
It doesn't matter who says what. Is your answer right, or is it wrong?
