(-m+5)(2m-9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= -m(2m - 9) + 5(2m - 9) Distribute (-m) and 5 to the parenthesis and then solve..

@ebutzer what'sthe problem here? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not understand this problem

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but @waterineyes just told you how..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See, what I can you do more to make it easier for you: \[-a(b - c) = -ab + ac\] \[a(b - c) = ab - ac\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confused..im not good at algebra at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Firstly we will go with first: -m(2m - 9) Now multiply (-m) inside the parenthesis and tell me what you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2m and -9m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close. \[-2m^{2} + 9m\]
