Question

Write the product as a trinomial. (m – 6)(m + 3)

m2 – 18

m2 – 3m – 18

m2 – 3m + 18

m2 + 3m – 18

Answer 1

(m-6)(m+3)

multiply
m^2 +3m-6m-18
m^2-3m-18

answer is B

Answer 2

I'm going to use the foil method.

First

Outside

Inner

Last

So let's multiply the first term in each factor:

`m*m=m^2`

Then the outer terms:

`m*3=3m`

Then we'll multiply the inner terms:

`-6*m=-6m`

And finally, the last terms:

`-6*3=-18`

Now add everything that we got together:

`m^(2)+3m-6m-18`

And simplify:

`m^(2)-3m-18`

And that's your final answer!
