use the foil method, first, outer, inner, and last to multiply the terms. check your work by factoring ithe resulting quadratic polynomial.

Answer 1

You can solve the problem (2x-4)(3x+7) by using the distributive property and combining like terms.

Step 1 Distribute 2x(3x+7) -4(3x+7)

Step 2 Multiply 6x^2+14x -12x-28

Step 3 Combine Like Terms 6x^2 + 2x - 28

Solution 6x^2 +2x -28

Answer 2

In this video, I show you how to multiply a set of two linear equations to further simplify a quadratic polynomial expression. I used the FOIL algorithm to properly construct my solution in the standard form of a quadratic, Ax²+Bx+C.
