%285x-6%29%285x-6%29 Start with the given expression.


Now let's FOIL the expression.


Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


%28highlight%285x%29-6%29%28highlight%285x%29-6%29 Multiply the First terms:%285%2Ax%29%2A%285%2Ax%29=25%2Ax%5E2.


%28highlight%285x%29-6%29%285x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29 Multiply the Outer terms:%285%2Ax%29%2A%28-6%29=-30%2Ax.


%285x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29%28highlight%285x%29-6%29 Multiply the Inner terms:%28-6%29%2A%285%2Ax%29=-30%2Ax.


%285x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29%285x%2Bhighlight%28-6%29%29 Multiply the Last terms:%28-6%29%2A%28-6%29=36.


25%2Ax%5E2-30%2Ax-30%2Ax%2B36 Now collect every term to make a single expression.


25%2Ax%5E2-60%2Ax%2B36 Now combine like terms.


So %285x-6%29%285x-6%29 FOILs to 25%2Ax%5E2-60%2Ax%2B36.


In other words, %285x-6%29%285x-6%29=25%2Ax%5E2-60%2Ax%2B36.
