For this question, you have to use the FOIL method.
\n" ); document.write( "First
\n" ); document.write( "Outer
\n" ); document.write( "Inner
\n" ); document.write( "Last
\n" ); document.write( "I'll teach you this question step by step.
\n" ); document.write( "1)Multiply the FIRST two terms, which in this case are 5x and 5x. This will give you 25x^2.
\n" ); document.write( "2)Multiply 5x (the first monomial of first term) by the OUTER term (the second/last number in the second term), which is -6. 5x(-6)= -30x.
\n" ); document.write( "3)Multiply the two INNER terms, which are the two in the middle, -6 and 5x. -30x.
\n" ); document.write( "4)Multiply the two LAST terms, -6 and -6. -6(-6)=36.
\n" ); document.write( "5)You put the terms together. 25x^2-30x-30x+36. But your teacher probably won't accept this because it isn't in simplest form. -30x and -30x are like terms, so you can combine them, which gives you -60x.
\n" ); document.write( "6)Your final answer is 25x^2-60x+36.\r
