Most Students Struggle With This SAT Algebra Problem | Can You Solve it?

Most students try to expand everything here and get stuck, but there’s a much easier way. In this math tutorial, I solve the SAT algebra problem (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+6) = 3x² step-by-step. By rearranging the factors and multiplying in pairs we reveal a hidden pattern. This lets us rewrite the expression as (x²+6x+6+x)(x²+6x+6−x), which turns the whole problem into a clean difference of two squares. From there, the equation factorizes into (x²+8x+6)(x²+4x+6) = 0, and we solve using the zero product rule. This method avoids long expansion and shows a smarter way to handle tough algebra problems. If you’re preparing for SAT, WAEC, or JAMB, this is exactly the kind of shortcut that can save you time and help you get the right answer faster.
