Ok, so first here's the equation:
(5y + 7)(2y + 3)
FOIL: First, Outer, Inner, Last.
So now, what's 5y times 2y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10y
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Tip: Whenever you multiply a variable times a variable, the variable becomes squared: example: x times x equals x^2, 5x times x equals 5x^2.
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
(also, if you look at your answers, you can see there is no "10y" in any of the final answers)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 10y2

15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wats next
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Right 15y
So here's what you have:
10y^2 + 15y
Now, you multiply 7 times 2y, what's that equal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
14y
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Right! What I like ot do is put the like terms under each under:
10y^2 + 15y
+ 14y
NOW multiply 7 times 3!

RIGHT! So what do we have all together?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Multiply and simplify: (8m − 2)(2m + 3)
16m2 − 6
16m2 + 6
16m2 + 24m + 6
16m2 + 20m − 6
i got te 3rd one as the answer im i right
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Wait wait wait! We didn't even finish the first one yet!

right, you must NEVER forget the variables that could make you get the wrong answer. What's next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is where i got confused but i did 7 times 2y which got me 14y
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Alright, there's where you made a mistake.
it's supposed to be -2 times 2m not 7 times 2y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and thats -4m
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Right! So now you have what?
