question
express as a trinomial.
(3x - 8)(2x + 10)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the distributive property (FOIL method)

Multiply the First terms: \(3x \times 2x = 6x^2\)
Multiply the Outer terms: \(3x \times 10 = 30x\)
Multiply the Inner terms: \(-8 \times 2x = -16x\)
Multiply the Last terms: \(-8 \times 10 = -80\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine the \(x\) terms: \(30x - 16x = 14x\)
Now, combine all terms: \(6x^2 + 14x - 80\)

Answer:

\(6x^2 + 14x - 80\)
