FOIL is an 'acronym'. It helps you remember how to multiply
two binomials ... like (2x-7) and (5x+5) .
FOIL stands for "First, Outside, Inside, Last". Here's how it's used
to multiply these particular two binomials:
(2x - 7) (5x + 5)
First: (2x) (5x) = 10x²
Outside: (2x) (5) = 10x
Inside: (-7) (5x) = -35x
Last: (-7) (5) = -35
Add them all together, and you have the product:
10x² + 10x -35x -35
Simplify the sum: 10x² - 25x -35
or 5(x² - 5x - 7) .
"3 less than twice 'x' " . . . . that's (2x - 3)
" 2 more than the quantity (3 x) " . . . . . that's (3x + 2)
Their product is
(2x - 3) (3x + 2) .
If you want to expand it to a single expression, perform the multiplication,
and you have
6x² - 5x - 6 .
I think the answer is 49 because if you add 17 and 23 you get 40 then subtract 40 from 89 you get 49. I hope this helped!
70 cm as yellow ribbon is 16 cm more than brown one so just add 54 + 16 = 70 cm
