Question

Multiply using distributive property. (2m-5)(3m+8) PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

6m^2 + m - 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2m - 5)(3m + 8)

= (2m * 3m) + (-5 * 3m) + (2m * 8) + (-5 * 8)

= 6m^2 - 15m + 16m - 40

= 6m^2 + m - 40.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 6m^2 +m -40

Step-by-step explanation: Distributing binomials calls for the FOIL method.

Multiply the First times the First: 3m×2m= 6m^2. (^2 means squared when we can't use superscript for exponents.)

Then multiply and combine the Outside and Inside terms: 2m ×8=16m. and -5 ×3m= -15m

16m - 15m = m

Then multiply the Last terms: -5×8= -40

You end up with

6m^2 + m -40
