Please give an example!!!
WILL MEDAL AND FAN!!!

Answer 1

for factoring?

Answer 2

Polynomials.

Answer 3

I honestly don't know i am confused.

Answer 4

I can write the steps but i wanna know how to work it.
Using the box method, you write the first polynomial down the side of the box with each term in a row of its own and the second polynomial across the top with each term in a column of its own. Then, multiply each row and column, and fill in the result in the corresponding empty box. Finally, combine like terms to simplify.

Answer 5

Oh ok. so it looks like you're multiplying on factoring.
Let's try (3x -1) and (2x + 5)

Answer 6

So we write 3x - 1 across the top and 2x + 5 down the side, keeping the sign with the constant.
