Question

Simplify the product using the distributive property.

(-4h +2)(3h +7)

anonymous · Answer

The distributive property in this case implies "foiling" which is an acronym for "first-outside-inside-last"

anonymous · Answer

I personally find that confusing so I think, "each term in the first brackets needs to be multiplied by each term in the second brackets"

anonymous · Answer

(-4h+2)(3h+7)=
-4h(3h)+-4h(7)+2(3h)+2(7)=
-12h^2+-28h+6h+14=
-12h^2-22h+14
