Question

What is the product of (x-5)and (x-4)

Answer 1

x²-9x+20

Explanation:

• What is the product of (x-5)and (x-4)

(x-5)(x-4)=

x²-4x-5x+20=

x²-9x+20

Answer 2

To find the product of (x - 5) and (x - 4), we can begin by simplifying with the distributive property:

(x - 5)(x - 4) = x(x - 4) - 5(x - 4)

Now we distribute accordingly:

x(x - 4) = x^2 - 4x
-5(x - 4) = -5x + 20

Next, we combine the simplified terms:

x^2 - 4x - 5x + 20

Lastly, we combine like terms:

x^2 - 9x + 20

Hence, (x - 5)(x - 4) = x^2 - 9x + 20.
