You can put this solution on YOUR website!
FOIL is First Outer Inner Last
\n" ); document.write( "This means:
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the first terms in each factor first.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the outer terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the inner terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the last terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "Then you add all the results of each multiplication together and you combine like terms and you have your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "(2b+9)*(5b+7)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the First terms in each factor first.
\n" ); document.write( "That would be 2b * 5b which equals 10b^2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the Outer terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "That would be 2b * 7 = 14b
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the Inner terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "That would be 9 * 5b = 45b
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the Outer terms in each factor next.
\n" ); document.write( "That would be 9 * 7 = 63
\n" ); document.write( "Add all results of each multiplication together and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "10b^2 + 14b + 45b + 63
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "10b^2 + 59b + 63
\n" ); document.write( "That's your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
