Question

Multiply the binomials below. Write the product in standard form:
(6x+5)(2x−1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given product:

`(6x + 5)(2x - 1)`

Expand the product by multiplying each term of 6x + 5 with 2x - 1,

`= 6x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1)`

Opening the parentheses,

`= 12 {x}^(2) - 6x + 10x - 5`

Now condense by adding/subtracting like terms,

`= 12 {x}^(2) + 4x - 5`

The standard form the product will be 12x² + 4x + 5.

Answer 2

12x² + 4x - 5

Explanation:

(6x+5)(2x−1)

= 12x² - 6x + 10x - 5

= 12x² + 4x - 5
