Question

Distributive property (x - 2)(x - 1)

Answer 1

`x^(2)`-3x+2

Explanation:

We can either choose to use the box method of multiplying binomials, or the FOIL method, as well as the Distributive property

For the foil method...

F: You need to multiply x times x which will equal
`x^(2)`

O: Then multiply x by -1 to get -x

I: Now multiply -2 by x to get -2x

L: Finally, multiply -2 by -1 to get 2

After all these results you will end up with
`x^(2)`-x-2x+2

Now make sure you simplify where you can... here, we can combine like terms (-x and -2x) which will equal -3x

Therefore, your answer will be

`x^(2)`-3x+2

Answer 2

x^2-3x-2
