Step-by-step solution for: Binomial Multiplication (FOIL) Practice Worksheet Generator worksheets library
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Binomial Multiplication (FOIL)", which contains multiple binomial multiplication problems. The goal is to use the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) to multiply each pair of binomials.
Let me solve each problem step by step and explain the FOIL method clearly.
---
FOIL stands for:
- F: First terms
- O: Outer terms
- I: Inner terms
- L: Last terms
For two binomials:
$(a + b)(c + d)$ =
$ac$ (First) + $ad$ (Outer) + $bc$ (Inner) + $bd$ (Last)
Then combine like terms.

Now let's solve each problem:
---
1. $(x - 6)(x + 6)$
F: $x \cdot x = x^2$
O: $x \cdot 6 = 6x$
I: $-6 \cdot x = -6x$
L: $-6 \cdot 6 = -36$
→ $x^2 + 6x - 6x - 36 = x^2 - 36$
✔ Answer: $x^2 - 36$
2. $(y + 7)(y - 8)$
F: $y \cdot y = y^2$
O: $y \cdot (-8) = -8y$
I: $7 \cdot y = 7y$
L: $7 \cdot (-8) = -56$
→ $y^2 - 8y + 7y - 56 = y^2 - y - 56$
✔ Answer: $y^2 - y - 56$
3. $(m + 8)(m - 7)$
F: $m \cdot m = m^2$
O: $m \cdot (-7) = -7m$
I: $8 \cdot m = 8m$
L: $8 \cdot (-7) = -56$
→ $m^2 - 7m + 8m - 56 = m^2 + m - 56$
✔ Answer: $m^2 + m - 56$
4. $(x + 8)(x - 10)$
F: $x \cdot x = x^2$
O: $x \cdot (-10) = -10x$
I: $8 \cdot x = 8x$
L: $8 \cdot (-10) = -80$
→ $x^2 - 10x + 8x - 80 = x^2 - 2x - 80$
✔ Answer: $x^2 - 2x - 80$
5. $(x + 11)(x + 7)$
F: $x \cdot x = x^2$
O: $x \cdot 7 = 7x$
I: $11 \cdot x = 11x$
L: $11 \cdot 7 = 77$
→ $x^2 + 7x + 11x + 77 = x^2 + 18x + 77$
✔ Answer: $x^2 + 18x + 77$
6. $(n - 8)(n + 11)$
