Yes, I suck at math. Here's a problem. Your help is much appreciated. :D
How do I get 6x(3x+7) from (18x^2+42x)
Yes I know it's factoring and I know (18x^2) is (6x) square-rooted. So how do I get (3x+7) from (42x)?
Please help.
ME = STUPID.

what the fuck is wrong with you? divide each term by 6x, e.g. 18x^2/6x=3x. god dammit, /sci/ is not your fucking tutor.

Distributivity, not associativity.
Associativity : a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c where * is teh law.

Maybe that's why you included the "wtf" at the end?
