Question

Multiply: (x+1) (3x-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

3x^2-2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FOIL method

(x+1)(3x-5)

3x^2-5x+3x-5

3x^2-2x-5

Answer 2

Use the FOIL Method
(First-Outer-Inner-Last)

$(x + 1)(3x - 5)$
Start with the first variable in each parenthese.
(The x and 3x are first.)
They make:
$3 {x}^{2}$
Then, do the outer variables. (x and -5)
They make:
$- 5x$
Next, the inner terms. (1 and 3x)
They make:
$3x$
Finally, the last terms. (1 and -5)
They make:
$- 5$
To get your answer, add them together.

$3 {x}^{2} - 5x + 3x - 5$
Add like terms together for the final answer.
$3 {x}^{2} - 2x - 5$
That's your final answer!
