Basically multiplication is really just repeated addition, so what your answer maybe 4 since (2 + 2 = 4) you add 2 two times. I hope this helped.

2x2= 4
2x2 - 5x + 12 does not factor. 2x2 - 5x - 12 factors into (2x + 3)(x - 4) 2x2 + 5x - 12 factors into (2x - 3)(x + 4)
4x2-x+2x2 is 6x2-x when simplified
A Quadratic statement
2x2 - 72 would be factored into (2x - 12)(x + 6) or (2x + 12)(x - 6) To double check, multiply each pair: (2x - 12)(x + 6) = 2x2 + 12x - 12x - 72 = 2x2 - 72 (2x + 12)(x - 6) = 2x2 - 12x + 12 x - 72 = 2x2 - 72
