Problems on FOILing and factoring.

EndersWorld:

The expression (2x-3)(5x+7) is equivalent to

EndersWorld:

\[7x+4\] \[-3x-10\] \[10x^2+14\] \[10x^2-x-21\] \[10x^2+29-21\]

563blackghost:

You need to simplify the equation. To do this you multiply each term with a term contained within the other parenthesis. \(\bf{2x \times 5x + 2x \times 7 - 3 \times 5x -3 \times 7}\)

EndersWorld:

Do I then combine like terms to multiply them together?

563blackghost:

yes you do.

EndersWorld:

EndersWorld:

O;

563blackghost:

correct!
