Question

Expand and combine like terms.
(765 – 46)(765 + 46)

Answer 1

587,341

Explanation:

(I'm hoping this is what you mean by expand)

(765 – 46)(765 + 46)

First, multiply 765 by 765 = 585,225

Second, multiply 765 by 46 = 35,190

Third, multiply -46 by 765 = -35,190

Fourth, multiply -46 by 46 = -2,116

The second and third answers (35,190 and -35, 190) will cancel each other out. Then, just subtract -2,116 from 585,225.

585,225 - (-2,116) = 585,225 + 2,116 = 587,341
