Distributing Binomials

8 ( x + 2) = ?

• 8x + 2

• 8x + 16

• 24x

• 6

5( 2x + 3) = ?

• 10x + 3

• 7x + 8

• 10x + 15

• 25x

-8 ( x + 2) = ?

• -8x + 2

• -8x + 16

• -8x – 16

-4 ( x + 3) = ?

• -4x + 3

• -4x + 12

• -4x – 12

-5( 2x + 3) = ?

• -10x + 3

Simplify:
(x - 9)(x - 7)

• x² - 2x - 63

• x² - 16x - 63

• x² - 2x + 63

• x² - 16x + 63

Simplify:
(x - 7)(x + 7)

• x² + 7x - 49

• x² - 7x + 49

• x² - 49

• x² + 49

(x + 5)(x + 4)

• x² + x + 20

• x² + 20x + 9

• x² + 9x + 20

• x² - 9x + 54

(x + 5)² 

Hint: try (x + 5)(x + 5)

• x² + 25

• x² + 10x + 25

• x² + 10 x + 10

• x² + 10
