Question

(V-8)(v + 4)
Simplify your answer

Answer 1

v^2 - 4v - 32

Explanation:

Expand (v - 8) (v + 4) using the FOIL method.

apply the distributive property.

v (v + 4) - 8 (v + 4)

v x v + v x 4 - 8 (v + 4)

v x v + v x 4 - 8v - 8 x 4

simplify and combine like terms.

v^2 + v x 4 - 8v - 8 x 4

v^2 + 4 x v - 8v - 8 x 4

v^2 + 4v - 8v - 32

v^2 - 4v - 32
