Question

What’s the product of (23-8c) - (5c-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$40c^{2}$ -123c + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you need to distribute the negative sign to the second binomial

(23 - 8c) - (5c - 1)

(23 - 8c) (-5c + 1)

2. Distribute each term in the first binomial to each term in the second binomial, FOIL (first, outer, inner, last)

(23 - 8c) (-5c + 1)

-115c + 23 + $40c^{2}$ -8c

3. Combine the like terms

-115c + 23 + $40c^{2}$ -8c

$40c^{2}$ -123c + 23

hope this helps!
