In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data
(5x + 6)(2x² + 3x + 8) = ?
Step 02:
Area Model
First, you must multiply the values in the rows by each of the values in the columns.
Then, you must add all the values resulting from the multiplications.
10x³
2x²
+ 12x²
15x²
18x
3x
40x
48
8
--------------------------------------------
10x³ + 29x² + 61x + 56
The answer is:
(5x + 6)(2x² + 3x + 8) = 10x³ + 29x² + 61x + 56
