2x(2) - 6xy - 9x + 27y
Where is the equals sign?
(2x-9)(x-3y)
Dang. I didn't see this until a few minutes ago and David answered while I was working it. I agree with him.
> (2x-9)(x-3y)
Agreed!
So why are you dealing with Algebra on a Saturday?
Why? Well mondays suck trying to do math. Saturdays are little easier to take when working out polynomials.
I was a weird kid. I loved solving polynomials.

Yep. Holding that pencil was quite a trick too. BTW, that's not me. That's my sister. Note the absence of the hangy-downy thing.
> 2x(2) - 6xy - 9x + 27y
for the 2 in parentheses, instead hold down "alt" and type 0178 to get the superscript 2 (I mean if you want and have nothing else to do)
2x² - 6xy - 9 + 27u

Have you checked out the photo of yourself in your avatar, I am thinking a few things need to be cleared up, you are obviously confused.

No, Don. A Kid is a Goat.;-)
:good:

The shame of my life is I was not an Algebra natural.
Geometry and Trigonometry make sense but a bunch of letters and numbers and symbols?
Well, you see, it's because of all these city-type people who call any bovine a cow. Had I more correctly labeled myself Holy Bull I think there would have been too many who assumed the Bull was actually reference to a similar word with twice as many letters in it. That would not have been very tasteful. Hence, the use of Holy Cow, although genderwise incorrect. Some, too, might have thought of the term of Holy Bull as being somewhat sacrilegious. Meanwhile, Holy Cow is commonly recognized as a term suggesting wondrous amazement.
I am so happy you explained all that. I was just about to post an appeal for understanding for LGBT livestock, but fortunately that is now unnecessary.
Don
It would seem to me to be simple if you just used your name?
Or ashamed of it?
