Question

What is the product of these binomials?

(x-8)(x+3)

Answer 1

x^2 - 5x - 24 is the answer

Answer 2

(x-8)(x+3) = x² - 5x -24

Explanation:

We need to find the product of binomials (x-8)(x+3).

Let us use the distribution property.

`(x-8)(x+3)=x* x+x* 3-8* x-8* 3\\(x-8)(x+3)=x^2-5x-24`

So

(x-8)(x+3) = x² - 5x -24
