Question

express as a trinomial. (2x + 8)(3x - 7)

Explanation:

Step1: Use FOIL method

$(2x + 8)(3x - 7)=2x\times3x+2x\times(-7)+8\times3x + 8\times(-7)$

Step2: Calculate each product

$2x\times3x = 6x^{2}$, $2x\times(-7)=-14x$, $8\times3x = 24x$, $8\times(-7)=-56$

Step3: Combine like - terms

$6x^{2}+(-14x + 24x)-56=6x^{2}+10x - 56$

Answer:

$6x^{2}+10x - 56$
