You can't solve something that doesn't have an equals (or inequality) sign that relates two expressions. If you wanted to multiply the two binomials, then you really should say what it is you want. To multiply the two binomials, use FOIL. First term times First term plus Outside term times Outside term plus Inside term times Inside term plus Last term times Last term. Collect like terms.
