Do you know the foil method?

Hi! So we distribute each term into the other equation. \(\Large\bf{3x \times 2x + 3x(-7) -5 \times 2x-5(-7)}\) Can you simplify this?

tigerlover:

tigerlover:

The next step to to combine like terms

tigerlover:

\[9x^2-21x-10x-35\]

tigerlover:

\[21x+10x=?\]

563blackghost:

@tigerlover I think you did your simplification incorrectly. If we simplify we should get... \(\large\bf{(3x \times 2x)+(3x(-7)) - (4 \times 2x) - (5(-7))}\) \(\Large\bf{\color{Red}{6x^{2} - 31x+35}}\)

tigerlover:

@563blackghost I was taught the foil method. Im sorry for any inconvenience.

tigerlover:

\[(3x-5)(2x-7)\]

tigerlover:

I see what I did wrong and I will correct it

tigerlover:

\[3x*2x= 6x^2\]

tigerlover:

\[3x*-7=-21x\]

tigerlover:

So far we have \[6x^2-21x\]

tigerlover:

\[-5*2x=-10x\]

tigerlover:

\[-5*-7=35\]

tigerlover:

Now, we have the whole equation: \[6x^2-21x-10x+35\]

tigerlover:

We need to combine like terms. Simply: \[-21x+-10x=-31x\]

tigerlover:

So your answer is \[6x^2-31x+35\]

tigerlover:

I hope this helped.
