247. (p + 12)(p − 5)

Answer 1

Hence the expression
`$$(p+12)(p-5)=p^2+8p-60$$`

Explanation:

Explanation

• The given expression is (p+12)(p-5).
• We have to multiply the given expression.
• Multiply the (p+12) by -5, multiply the (p+12) by p then add like terms.

`$$\frac{\begin{matrix}{} & {} & p & + & 12 \\ * & {} & p & - & 5 \\ \end{matrix}}`

____________

`{\frac{\begin{matrix}{} & - & 5p & - & 60 \\ {{p}^2} & + & 12p & {} & {} \\ \end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}{{p}^2} & + & 8p & - & 60 \\ \end{matrix}}}$$`
