Answer 17

Alright so I hate this part probably more than you do :) you got your answer already ( it's -2) but they have all these weird answers that you have no idea what they mean. So go back to your original problem: (x + 1) * (x -2)

Answer 18

ok what next?

Answer 19

Alright so now distribute x*x.
Then you do the x*2

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

Do you understand why you do that?

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

I wish I could draw but my computer is going slow :/

Answer 24

its ok no worries :)

Answer 25

Lemme rephrase this whole thing...

Here is your problem:

(x + 1) * (x -2)

Pull that first x over to the second x and multiply it.
X*x= x^2

Then you pull the same x over to the 2 and you do
x*2

Answer 26

got it

Answer 27

what next?

Answer 28

So then you pull the 1 over to the x
1*x
And that same 1 over to the 2
1*2

Do all of the steps and you'll have the answer :)

Answer 29
