Distributive Property

$(\color{#00880A}{a}+\color{#00880A}{b})(\color{#9a00c7}{c}+\color{#9a00c7}{d})=\color{#00880A}{a}(\color{#9a00c7}{c}+\color{#9a00c7}{d})+\color{#00880A}{b}(\color{#9a00c7}{c}+\color{#9a00c7}{d})=\color{#00880A}{a}\color{#9a00c7}{c}+\color{#00880A}{a}\color{#9a00c7}{d}+\color{#00880A}{b}\color{#9a00c7}{c}+\color{#00880A}{b}\color{#9a00c7}{d}$

Use the Distributive Property to expand the expression: $(\color{#00880A}{x}+\color{#00880A}{2})(\color{#9a00c7}{x}-\color{#9a00c7}{5})$

Step $1$ : Write out one binomial twice.

$\;\;\;\;\;\;(\color{#9a00c7}{x}-\color{#9a00c7}{5})\;\;\;\;\;\;(\color{#9a00c7}{x}-\color{#9a00c7}{5})$

Step $2$ : Split and distribute the other binomial.

$\;\;\;\;\color{#00880A}{x}(\color{#9a00c7}{x}-\color{#9a00c7}{5})+\color{#00880A}{2}(\color{#9a00c7}{x}-\color{#9a00c7}{5})$

Step $3$ : Expand by multiplying each binomial.

		$(\color{#00880A}{x})(\color{#9a00c7}{x})-(\color{#00880A}{x})(\color{#9a00c7}{5})+(\color{#00880A}{2})(\color{#9a00c7}{x})-(\color{#00880A}{2})(\color{#9a00c7}{5})$
	$=$	$x^2-5x+2x-10$

Step $4$ : Collect like terms and simplify.

		$x^2$ $-5x+2x$ $-10$
	$=$	$x^2-3x-10$

$x^2-3x-10$

Question 2 of 6

1. $x^2-5x-24$
2. $x^2-8x+4$

Use the Distributive Property to expand the expression: $(\color{#00880A}{x}-\color{#00880A}{8})(\color{#9a00c7}{x}+\color{#9a00c7}{3})$

Step $1$ : Write out one binomial twice.

$\;\;\;\;\;\;(\color{#9a00c7}{x}+\color{#9a00c7}{3})\;\;\;\;\;\;(\color{#9a00c7}{x}+\color{#9a00c7}{3})$

Step $2$ : Split and distribute the other binomial.

$\;\;\;\;\color{#00880A}{x}(\color{#9a00c7}{x}+\color{#9a00c7}{3})-\color{#00880A}{8}(\color{#9a00c7}{x}+\color{#9a00c7}{3})$

Step $3$ : Expand by multiplying each binomial.

		$(\color{#00880A}{x})(\color{#9a00c7}{x})+(\color{#00880A}{x})(\color{#9a00c7}{3})-(\color{#00880A}{8})(\color{#9a00c7}{x})-(\color{#00880A}{8})(\color{#9a00c7}{3})$
	$=$	$x^2+3x-8x-24$

Step $4$ : Collect like terms and simplify.

		$x^2$ $+3x-8x$ $-24$
	$=$	$x^2-5x-24$

$x^2-5x-24$
