Question

(x+6)(x-3) solve by multiplying out and combining like terms

Answer 1

x^2 + 3x - 18

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, I recommend using the FOIL method.

F = Front

O = Outer

I = Inner

L = Last

Start by multiplying the fronts which is x with x, which will give you x^2 (X to the second power).

Then, multiply x and -3, which gives you -3x. (Outer)

Third, multiply 6 and x, which gives you 6x. (Inner)

Finally, multiply 6 and -3, which gives you -18. (Last)

Now, there are like terms in the products that we just did which is 6x and -3x combine them together and you will get 3x.

So your results should be

x^2 + 3x - 18

Hope this helps!
