You can use the FOIL method to solve: multiply FIRST, multiply OUTSIDE, multiply INSIDE, multiply LAST to help remember to multiply all terms.
=(7x – 6)(8x + 3)
multiply first term by first term, multiply outside by outside, inside by inside, last by last
=(7x*8x) + (7x*3) + (-6*8x) + (-6*3)
multiply terms
=56x^2 + 21x - 48x - 18
combine like terms
=56x^2 - 27x - 18
ANSWER: A) 56x^2 - 27x - 18
Hope this helps! :)
