\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2B4%29%282x-6%29\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's FOIL the expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%283x%29%2B4%29%28highlight%282x%29-6%29\" Multiply the First terms:\"%283%2Ax%29%2A%282%2Ax%29=6%2Ax%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%283x%29%2B4%29%282x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29\" Multiply the Outer terms:\"%283%2Ax%29%2A%28-6%29=-18%2Ax\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%28highlight%282x%29-6%29\" Multiply the Inner terms:\"%284%29%2A%282%2Ax%29=8%2Ax\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x%2Bhighlight%284%29%29%282x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29\" Multiply the Last terms:\"%284%29%2A%28-6%29=-24\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have the terms: \"6%2Ax%5E2\", \"-18%2Ax\", \"8%2Ax\", \"-24\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2Ax%5E2-18%2Ax%2B8%2Ax-24\" Now add every term listed above to make a single expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2Ax%5E2-10%2Ax-24\" Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%283x%2B4%29%282x-6%29\" FOILs to \"6%2Ax%5E2-10%2Ax-24\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"%283x%2B4%29%282x-6%29=6%2Ax%5E2-10%2Ax-24\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
