OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im trying to find the answer when you multiply them but i dont know how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the FOIL method so multiply the two first terms together then multiply the two outer terms together then the two inner terms and then the two last terms and just combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is only 3 terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i was about to say so just multiply the two terms by the second term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the termin the second parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i multiply 3x^2 (x) isnt x like one ? so it would still be 3 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3x^2-6x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x^3-6x^2
