Question

Simplify the product using FOIL. (2x – 7)(5x 5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$10x^2-25x-35$

Step-by-step explanation:

The FOIL method is used to multiply two binomials.

FOIL stand for:

First : Multiply the first term in each set of parenthesis.

Outer : Multiply the outer term in each set of parenthesis.

Inner : Multiply the inner term in each set of parenthesis.

Last: Multiply the last term in each set of parenthesis.

Given that:

$(2x-7)(5x+5)$

Using the foil method:

$2x(5x+5)-7(5x+5)$     [Using distributive property]

⇒$10x^2+10x -(35x+35)$

⇒$10x^2+10x -35x-35$

Combine like terms:

⇒$10x^2-25x-35$

Therefore, the product of (2x – 7)(5x+5) using FOIL method is, $10x^2-25x-35$

Answer 2

10x squared - 25x squared + 10x
