given answers?

Answer 2

@Brinannuh

Answer 3

Multiply the expression out and simplify by collecting like terms.

Answer 4

No multiple choice, I'm stuck. @fathomboy

Answer 5

Ill expand it out but I will have you do the simplifying and calculations

Answer 6

\[(2x-9)(x+6)=2x(x+6)-9((x+6)\]by the distributive property of multiplication.

Now do that again to remove the remaining parentheses and collect like terms to simplify.

Answer 7

nvm, looks like whpalmer4's got it under control

Answer 8

Example:

\[(2x-5)(x+1)=2x(x+1)-5(x+1)\]\[\qquad=2x*x+2x*1-5*x-5*1\]\[\qquad=2x^2+2x-5x-5\]\[\qquad=2x^2-3x-5\]

Answer 9

@Brinannuh are you still stuck?

Answer 10

no, thank you! @whpalmer4
