Answer:
1) 5(7
- x + 8)
first box: 5 * 7 = 35
35 x^2
second box: 5 * -1 = -5
-5x
third box: 5 * 8 = 40
40
answer: 35
- 5x + 40
2) 2x(4x^2 + 3x + 6)
first box: 2x * 4x^2
2 * 4 = 8
x * x^2 = x^3
8x^3
second box: 2x * 3x
2 * 3 = 6
x * x = x^2
6x^2
third box: 2x * 6
2 * 6 = 12
12x
answer: 8x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x
3) (tp + 5)(4p - 6)
top left box: tp * 4p
p * p = p^2
4t
top right box: tp * - 6
-6tp
bottom left box: 5 * 4p
5 * 4 = 20
20p
bottom right box: 5 * - 6
5 * -6 = -11
-11
answer: 4tp^2 - 6tp + 20p - 11
4) (4a - 8)(8a - 1)
top left box: 4a * 8a
4 * 8 = 32
a * a = a^2
32a^2
top right box: 4a * -1
4 * -1 = -4
-4a
bottom left box: -8 * 8a
-8 * 8 = -64
-64a
bottom right box: -8 * - 1
-8 * - 1 = 8
8
32a^2 - 4a - 64a + 8
combine like terms
32a^2 - 68a + 8 = answer
