Expand and simplify:
(x + 1)(2x - 3)
with the explaining the steps​

Work Shown:

(x+1)(2x-3)

y(2x-3)

2xy - 3y

2x( y ) - 3( y )

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

2x^2+2x - 3x-3

2x^2 - x - 3

Explanation:

In the second step, I replaced all of (x+1) with y. Afterward, I distributed that y term through. A few steps later, I replaced y with x+1 to help finish up the distributions. You could use the FOIL rule as an alternative approach.

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
