Question

Find the product:

(x + 2) (х – 6)

Answer 1

Given: (x + 2) (х – 6)

Step-wise calculation:

Use the distributive property FOIL method to multiply the two binomials:

(x + 2) (х – 6) = x × x + x × (–6) + 2 × x + 2 × (–6)

(x + 2) (х – 6) = x² – 6x + 2x – 12

(x + 2) (х – 6) = x² – 4x – 12
