Question

(X-1)(x+2) + (x-3)(x+1)

Answer 1

2x²-x-5

Explanation:

When multiplying 2 brackets, use the FOIL method. That is, multiply the FIRST terms of each bracket, then the OUTER ones (first term of first bracket and last term of second bracket), INNER (last term of first bracket and first term of second bracket) and finally the LAST terms of each bracket. Thereafter, add up the like terms.
