Notice that (2a + 6b) is a common factor, so ...
(2a+6b)( (6b-2a) - (2a+6b) )
simplify the inside of my outside brackets and you are done
(2a+6b)( (6b-2a) - (2a+6b) )
simplify the inside of my outside brackets and you are done
by the way, I only did step one.
But wouldn't (6b-2a) already be there? how could you group it?
the square is outside the parentheses
6 = 2*3
