Question

What is the simplified form of the expression (x + 6)(7x − 1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(x + 6)(7x - 1) \\ {7x}^(2) - x + 42x - 6 \\ {7x}^(2) + 41x - 6`

Answer 2

7x^2+41x-6

Explanation:

(x + 6)(7x − 1)

FOIL

first x*7x = 7x^2

outer: -1x

inner: 6*7x = 42x

last: -6

Add them together

7x^2 -x+42x -6

Combine like terms

7x^2 +41x -6
