Math Problem Statement

(X-7)(x+3)

Solution

To expand (x7)(x+3)(x-7)(x+3), we can use the distributive property (also known as FOIL for binomials):

(x7)(x+3)=x(x+3)7(x+3)(x-7)(x+3) = x(x+3) - 7(x+3)

Now distribute each term:

x(x+3)=x2+3xx(x+3) = x^2 + 3x 7(x+3)=7x21-7(x+3) = -7x - 21

Now combine like terms:

x2+3x7x21=x24x21x^2 + 3x - 7x - 21 = x^2 - 4x - 21

So, (x7)(x+3)=x24x21(x-7)(x+3) = x^2 - 4x - 21.

Tip: When expanding binomials, always distribute both terms in the first binomial to both terms in the second.
