(b + 8 ) (b + 2)
Use the FOIL method - First, Outside, Inside, Last
(a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
ac is the first term of each
ad is the outside term of each
bc is the inside term of each
bd is the last term of each
For this case
(b + 8 ) (b + 2) = b2 + 2b + 8b + 16
Combining like terms gives
(b + 8 ) (b + 2) = b2 + 10b + 16
