Question

(x -6)(x + 4)

Multiply the binomials

Answer 1

The correct answer to you problem is,
`x^(2) - 2x - 24`

`\ Solution`:

Distrubute them first:

( x - 6 )( x + 4 )

x ( x + 4 ) - 6( x + 4 )

x (x + 4) - 6(x + 4)

`x^(2)` + 4x - 6( x + 4)

`x^(2)` + 4x - 6( x + 4 )

`x^(2)` + 4x - 6x - 24

Combine like terms:

`x^(2)` + 4x - 6x - 24

`x^(2)` - 2x - 24

Thus, your answer is,

`x^(2) - 2x - 24`
