Question 112714
Simplify the following expressions:
{{{x^2+3x+2}}} and...
{{{x^2-1}}}
If the expressions are factorable, then factoring will simplify them, but be aware that not all expressions such as you have here are factorable.
In this case, however, both expressions are factorable:
{{{x^2+3x+2 = (x+1)(x+2)}}} and...
{{{x^2-1 = (x+1)(x+1)}}}
