To expand two terms such as these, we can use the method called FOIL (stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last). Here is what I mean:
We have two terms: (x - 2)(x - 1)
We should first multiply the First two terms of each term in order to complete the F stage:
(x)*(x) =

So then, we take the two outer terms and multiply them together to complete the O stage:
(x)*(-1) = -x
So far we have two things that we have calculated; at the end of the FOIL process we will have four.
To keep going with the FOIL, we now multiply the two inner terms to complete the I stage:
(-2)*(x) = -2x
Last but not least, we need to complete the L stage - so we multiply the two last terms of each term:
(-2)*(-1) = 2
Now that we have our four terms, let us add them together and combine like terms:

Since -x and -2x both have the x portion in common and they are added together, we can add them to create one single term:
-x + (-2x) = -3x
So now that we have our terms completed, we can combine into one polynomial equation:

Answer:
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> amount paid to Jessica
y ----> amount paid to Lauren
z ----> amount paid to Kimmie
we know that
------> equation A

-----> equation B

-----> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y




<em>Find the value of x</em>

<em>Find the value of z</em>

therefore
The amount paid to Jessica was $24
The amount paid to Lauren was $36
The amount paid to Kimmie was $60
To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

therefore
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
#15(A)
First Bike
$380 - $190 ($380 * 0.50) = $190
2nd Bike
$380 - $114 ( $380 * 0.30) = $266
$266 - $53.20 ($266 * 0.20) = $212.80
#15 (B)
Eliza should buy the first bike because it is cheaper. $190 < $212.80
#16
$57 + $28.50 ($57 * .50) = $85.50
