(5x-8) (2x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x(2x-5)-8(2x-5) <-- try to solve this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got 10x-25 -16x+40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10x^2-25x-16x+25 which would be 10x^2-41x+25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great now solve further..

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Correct but remember 10x is 10 x ²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what to do now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea when u multiply x's it becomes square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x.x=x^2

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

When you multiply 2 numbers with x's the x's multiply too...which becomes x times x which is x squared...or x²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the 16x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u hv 10x^2-41x+25.. after adding x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean -6x2

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

16x stays the same...do you have any other x's? ***you cannot combine x² and x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

wait perhaps I've looked wrong let me do this out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 10x2 -41x+25

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

(5x-8) (2x-5) 10x² - 25x - 16x + 40 so yes 10x² -41x + 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have like 13 problems like these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u get some idea how to do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats your final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the FOIL method i used above for this e.g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(7w+5)(11w-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me do it over: 5x(2x-5)-8(2x-5) 10x^2-25x-16x+40 10x^2-41x+40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 77w2+55w-33w-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea use the same trick with this: 7w(11w-3)+5(11w-3) <- they just replaced x with w's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u got first one right 7w x 3 = 21w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be 77w^2-21w+55w-15 77w^2+34w-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup the next one is *b-2)(b2-b+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b(b^2-b-1)-2(b^2-b+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not tht hard, give it a try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2b2-2b-1b-2b2-2b+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur second part is right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my first part is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when u multiply bxb^2 it will be b^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its b3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same goes with the next one.. u just add power to the variable when u multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what will it look i like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b(b^2-b-1)-2(b^2-b+1) \[b ^{3}-b ^{2}-b-2b ^{2}+2b-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve that
