Question

(X+8)(x-8) if necessary combine like terms

Answer 1

Answer:

x² - 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 8)(x - 8)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 8) + 8(x - 8) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 8x + 8x - 64 ← collect like terms

= x² - 64
