How do you multiply (x-6)(x+2)(x6)(x+2)?

2 Answers

x^2-4x-12

Explanation:

You can foil the equation to get

x times x + (-6 times x) + (2 times x) + (-6 times 2)x×x+(6×x)+(2×x)+(6×2)

= x^2 - 6x + 2x - 12=x26x+2x12

which simplifies to x^2-4x-12x24x12

x^2 -4x -12x24x12

Explanation:

Distribute the first X to the (X+2).
So X(X+2)= x^2 + 2x.SoX(X+2)=x2+2x.
Now we repeat with the -6.
So -6(X+2)= -6x - 12.So6(X+2)=6x12.
combine your answers: x^2 + 2x + -6x - 12.x2+2x+6x12.
Simplify combine like terms and you get x^2 -4x -12x24x12
