Ever heard of FOIL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean

pooja195 (pooja195):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I have to time them both

pooja195 (pooja195):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 5x x 3x - 2 x 5 so 15x^2 - 10

pooja195 (pooja195):

(5x)(3x)+(5x)(−5)+(2)(3x)+(2)(−5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15x^2 - 25x + 6x - 10

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you add the 25x + 6x right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that will equal -19x so the answer is 15x^2 - 19x -10 correct

pooja195 (pooja195):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have more if you could help me with them

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok :)
