Question

What is the product of (x+6)(8x+7)

Answer 1

(x+6)(8x+7)
First, you multiple the x in the first parentheses by 8x and 7.
If this was in the format of distributive, it would look as following
x(8x+7)
So then you’d do
(x*8x) and (x*7) which would be
8x^2+7x
Next, you would multiply the 6 in the first parentheses with the two variables/numbers in the second parentheses as follows
6(8x+7)
(6*8x)(6*7)
48x+42
Combine the two separate equations.
8x^2+7x+48x+42
Combine like terms.
8x^2+55x+42
And there you go. That’s the product.

Hope this helps.
