FOIL method : F = First , O = Outer , I = Inner, L = Last
(6x-6)(x+6)
First: 6x * x = 6x^2
Outer: 6x * 6 = 36x
Inner: -6 * x = -6x
Last: -6 *6 = -36
Put these in order and we get : 6x^2 + 36x -6x -36
It is always a rational number

M = 1 - 2 / 3 - 1
m = - 1 / 2
The elf ate 5/8 of the 10 muffins you had to figure out how many were eaten,
1. you have to multiply 5/8 by 10
5/8 · 10 = 6.25
2. now to figure out how many are left, subtract 6.25 from 10
10 - 6.25 = 3.75
