Question

Select the correct first step for finding the product of (4x+8)(2x+3) using the foil method

Answer 1

(4x + 8) (2x+3)

FOIL

First- (4x)(2x)= 8x2

Outer- (4x) (+3)= +12x

Inner- (8) (2x)=16x

Last- (8) (+3)=+24

Answer 2

Explanation:

F: 4x*2x = 8x^2

O: (4x)*3 = 12x

I : 8*2x = 16x

L: 8*3 = 24

End of First step

========================

Just in case you want the answer

8x^2 + 28x + 24

And to take out the common factor

4(2x^2 + 7x + 6)
