3(x+4)+2(5x+2)

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

So what you want to do is follow the FOIL method. First, Outer, Inner, Last. So first, 3 * x + 3 * 4, can you do that first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

So what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+12

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Right, so now we do the same for the other one, 2 * 5x + 2 * 2 Can you do that and tell me what you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10x+4

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Right, so all together we have 3x + 12 + 10x + 4, now can you add like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after that do you still have to look for x? or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you add like terms

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bwahah so thats it right? no looking for whats x? cuz there is no = sign?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

I suppose so..

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

She didn't say otherwise so I guess :b but if we did, we'd make it 13x + 16 = 0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
