Answer 1

3x+24

Answer 2

* -3x-24

Answer 3

use the same steps as before nikkiem....and then simplify to get what QED posted

Answer 4

the first term that i would start off with is -4x*x which is going to be -4x to the 2nd power right

Answer 5

(-4+1) = -3

-3(x+8) = -3x-24

Answer 6

There's only 1 x in the equation...so don't add x's :)

Answer 7

so then it would be 5x right ?

Answer 8

no...-4 * x is the same as -4 * 1x which = -4x

Answer 9

Here's what you should get after FOILing:
-4x + 1x + 8 -32

Answer 10

which simplifies to -3x-32

Answer 11

so i thought i need like four numbers in there for the answer>

Answer 12

You had 4 terms at the end...but in this case, they could be simplified to 2.

Answer 13

-4x + 1x + 8 -32 => -3x-24
