Question

can somebody help me (w+2)(w+12)??

Answer 1

\[w ^{2}+14w+24\]

Answer 2

Use the F.O.I.L method. It's very easy. (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
(w + 2)(w + 12)
w and w are first. So multiply them together and you get w^2.
w and 12 are outer. So multiply them together and you get 12w.
2 and w are inner. Multiply them and get 2w.
2 and 12 are last. Multiply them and get 24.
We're left with w^2 + 12w + 2w + 24
Combine like terms. (12w and 2w)
w^2 + 14w + 24

Does this help you understand it? (:

Answer 3

Are you good, or are you confused? @bethanybritton

Answer 4

You are making us concerned lol. Usually silence is a sign of confusion.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

OK, but you know distributive property, right?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Ok, so you can distribute factor like this:

Follow me? Now distribute again:

And you have \(w^2 + 2w + 12w + 24\).

Now combine like terms. You only have \(2w\) and \(12w\) to combine.

So you have final answer: \(\boxed{w^2 + 14w + 24}\)

Does that make sense?
