\n" ); document.write( "\"%283b%2B6%29%282b-10%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( "Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%283b%29%2B6%29%28highlight%282b%29-10%29\" Multiply the First terms:\"%283b%29%2A%282b%29=6b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28highlight%283b%29%2B6%29%282b%2Bhighlight%28-10%29%29\" Multiply the Outer terms:\"%283b%29%2A%28-10%29=-30b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283b%2Bhighlight%286%29%29%28highlight%282b%29-10%29\" Multiply the Inner terms:\"%286%29%2A%282b%29=12b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283b%2Bhighlight%286%29%29%282b%2Bhighlight%28-10%29%29\" Multiply the Last terms:\"%286%29%2A%28-10%29=-60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6b%5E2-30b%2B12b-60\" Now collect every term to make a single expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6b%5E2-18b-60\" Now combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%283b%2B6%29%282b-10%29\" foils and simplifies to \"6b%5E2-18b-60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"%283b%2B6%29%282b-10%29=6b%5E2-18b-60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now notice how the GCF of \"6b%5E2-18b-60\" is 6. So you are correct.\r
