Multiply (7x – 6)(8x +3). a. 56x2 – 27x – 18 b. 12x2 – 50x + 8 c. 56x2 – 18 d. 56x2 – 69x + 18

You can use the FOIL method to solve: multiply FIRST, multiply OUTSIDE, multiply INSIDE, multiply LAST to help remember to multiply all terms.

=(7x – 6)(8x + 3)
multiply first term by first term, multiply outside by outside, inside by inside, last by last
=(7x*8x) + (7x*3) + (-6*8x) + (-6*3)
multiply terms
=56x^2 + 21x - 48x - 18
combine like terms
=56x^2 - 27x - 18

ANSWER: A) 56x^2 - 27x - 18

Hope this helps! :)
