Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying Binomials worksheets
Here are the solutions for each problem. To solve these, we multiply every term in the first parenthesis by every term in the second parenthesis (often called the FOIL method: First, Outer, Inner, Last), and then combine any "like" terms (terms with the same variable and power).
1) $(3n + 2)(n + 3)$
- Multiply: $3n \cdot n = 3n^2$, $3n \cdot 3 = 9n$, $2 \cdot n = 2n$, $2 \cdot 3 = 6$
- Combine: $3n^2 + 9n + 2n + 6$
- Result: $3n^2 + 11n + 6$
2) $(3p - 3)(p - 1)$
- Multiply: $3p \cdot p = 3p^2$, $3p \cdot (-1) = -3p$, $-3 \cdot p = -3p$, $-3 \cdot (-1) = 3$
- Combine: $3p^2 - 3p - 3p + 3$
- Result: $3p^2 - 6p + 3$
3) $(2x + 1)(x - 1)$
- Multiply: $2x \cdot x = 2x^2$, $2x \cdot (-1) = -2x$, $1 \cdot x = x$, $1 \cdot (-1) = -1$
- Combine: $2x^2 - 2x + x - 1$
- Result: $2x^2 - x - 1$
4) $(5x - 2)(5x - 8)$
- Multiply: $5x \cdot 5x = 25x^2$, $5x \cdot (-8) = -40x$, $-2 \cdot 5x = -10x$, $-2 \cdot (-8) = 16$
- Combine: $25x^2 - 40x - 10x + 16$
- Result: $25x^2 - 50x + 16$
5) $(5v + 4)(3v - 6)$
- Multiply: $5v \cdot 3v = 15v^2$, $5v \cdot (-6) = -30v$, $4 \cdot 3v = 12v$, $4 \cdot (-6) = -24$
- Combine: $15v^2 - 30v + 12v - 24$
- Result: $15v^2 - 18v - 24$
6) $(x + 1)(x + 2)$

- This is a difference of squares pattern $(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2$.
- Square the first term: $(6x)^2 = 36x^2$
- Square the second term: $(2y)^2 = 4y^2$
- Subtract them: $36x^2 - 4y^2$
- Result: $36x^2 - 4y^2$
