- 8 (2x - 5) + 6x (- x + 8) A. 6x² + 32x + 40 B. - 6x² - 16x + 3 C. - 6x² + 32x + 40 D. - 6x² + 32x - 40

Oh this stuff is easy. Give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Sworewolf ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i don't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, you multiply -8 with 2x and -8 with -5. Understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me know what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16x - (-40)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since there are two negatives, that -40 would change to a positive 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now do the same with the other side. 6x times -x and 6x times 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6x + 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since your multiplying 6x by -x, it would be -6x^2 (6x squared). Every time you multiply an x by another x, it would equal an x^2
