Question

Find the product. (a - 8)(a + 2) A. 2a - 6 B. a2 - 16 C. a2 - 10a + 16 D. a2 - 6a - 16

Answer 1

Answer:

  D.  a^2 - 6a - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The product is found using the distributive property.

  (a -8)(a +2) = a(a +2) -8(a +2)

  = a^2 +2a -8a -16

  = a^2 -6a -16 . . . . . matches choice D

Answer 2

It’s D because
A times A is A2
A times 2 is 2A. Then you subtract -8A from two A to get negative six a
That Makes D the only correct answer without solving for the -16.
