Question

1. Multiply using distributive property.

(4x - 2)(x-3)
2. Multiply using the FOIL method.
(x - 5)(3x + 2)


Please explain it in an easy way.

Answer 1

2.
`3x^2-13x-10`

Explanation:

Expand (x−5)(3x+2) using the FOIL Method.

Step 2: Apply the distributive property.

`x(3x+2)-5(3x+2)`

Step 3: Apply the distributive property.

`x(3x)+x(2)-5(3x+2)`

Step 4: Apply the distributive property.

`x(3x)+x(2)-5(3x)-5(2)`

Simplify and combine like terms.

Step 5: Simplify each term.

`3x^2+2x-15x-10`

Step 6: Subtract 15x from 2x.

`3x^2-13x-10`

Answer 2

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division.
