ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
so is it D?
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
FOIL to check
if you look at the Last
(-1) * (-1) = +1
but the last term in your equation is - 1
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
-1 * 1 = -1 so its C
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
yes
but do you know how C is different from A ? :)

because of the FOIL
Outer
and
Inner
parts added up differently
(3) * (-1) = - 3
and 3 - 1 = 2 which is what we want
(-3) * (1) still equals - 3
but -3 + 1 = -2 which is not our middle number
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
yeah i thought it had something to do with the middle number
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
cause thats what dat one guy told me
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
