Solved example of polynomials
We can multiply the polynomials $\left(6x-5\right)\left(2x+3\right)$ by using the FOIL method. The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First ($F\times F$), Outer by Outer ($O\times O$), Inner by Inner ($I\times I$), Last by Last ($L\times L$):
Then, combine the four terms in a sum: $(F\times F) + (O\times O) + (I\times I) + (L\times L)$:
Multiply $6$ times $2$
Multiply $6$ times $3$
Multiply $-5$ times $2$
Multiply $-5$ times $3$
When multiplying two powers that have the same base ($x$), you can add the exponents
Combining like terms $18x$ and $-10x$
