Question

al.

$(2x + 8)(x - 1)$

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the distributive property (FOIL method)

Multiply the First terms: \(2x \times x = 2x^2\)
Multiply the Outer terms: \(2x \times (-1) = -2x\)
Multiply the Inner terms: \(8 \times x = 8x\)
Multiply the Last terms: \(8 \times (-1) = -8\)

Step2: Combine like terms

\(2x^2 - 2x + 8x - 8 = 2x^2 + 6x - 8\)

Answer:

\(2x^2 + 6x - 8\)
