The correct answer is: [D]: " x² – 5x – 24 " .
____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________
Given: " (x + 3)(x – 8) " ; expand :
______________________________________
Note: (a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd .
_____________________________________
a = x ;

b = 3 ;

c = x

d = 8
_______________________________________

" (x + 3)(x – 8) " ;

= (x * x) + ( -8 * x) + ( 3 * x ) + (3 * -8) ;

= x² + (-8x) + 3x + (-24) ;

= x² – 8x + 3x – 24 ;

→ Combine the "like terms" :

– 8x + 3x = – 5x ;

And simplify the expression;

to get:

" x² – 5x – 24 " ; which is: Answer choice: [D]: " x² – 5x – 24 " .
