Question

Simplify: (2.4)(a – 0.2b + 3.5c)

Answer 1

Do you know how to foil? :-)

Answer 2

If you know how to FOIL, this will help with this problem.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Okay. you have the leading coefficient that you will distribute among the entire terms.

Answer 5

Simplify: (2.4)(a – 0.2b + 3.5c)
2.4 is what you will apply to a, 0.2, 3.5c

Answer 6

So, we will multiply this to the entire equation.

Answer 7

FOIL = First Inner Outer Last

This should help visualize it: http://i.imgur.com/cwybaLq.png

Answer 8

Simplify: (2.4)(a – 0.2b + 3.5c)
2.4-0.48b+8.4c

Answer 9

ok thanks

Answer 10

It's not one of things you can skimp on you'll use it all the way through calculus.

Answer 11

\[(2.4)(a-0.2b+3.5c)=2.4a-0.48b+8.4c\]

Answer 12

@zkoqmosii Couldn't of said it better myself..

Answer 13

@zkoqmosii Calculus depends on all other Mathematics Factors, it's rather scary.

Answer 14

I highly recommend learning to FOIL polynomials, or the rest of your math career will get sticky

Answer 15

@Maddy1251 I made the mistake with factoring quadratics :S
