You're doing great. Now you just need to combine like terms.


The terms that have "xy" and "yx" are the same terms (since you can switch the terms), which that means that 3yx is the same as 3xy. So the expression also looks like this:


11x%5E2%2B44xy%2B3xy%2B12y%5E2


11x%5E2%2B47xy%2B12y%5E2 Now combine like terms.


So %2811x%2B3y%29%28x%2B4y%29+ FOILs to 11x%5E2%2B47xy%2B12y%5E2
