Algebra.Com's Answer #94735 by ptaylor(2198)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use FOIL to multiply: \n" ); document.write( "(4x – 9)(3x – 5) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FOIL is an acronym used to help the student remember how to multiply expressions of the form (a+b)(c+d). It stands for:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "F=First \n" ); document.write( "O=Outer \n" ); document.write( "I=Inner \n" ); document.write( "L=Last\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we apply this to your problem, we get:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First--------------4x*3x=12x^2 \n" ); document.write( "Outer---------------4x*(-5)=-20x \n" ); document.write( "Inner---------------(-9)*3x=-27x \n" ); document.write( "Last-------------------(-9)(-5)=45\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now if we add the terms up, we get:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12x^2-47x+45\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps---ptaylor \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
