Question

Multiple choice: Simplify each expression by multiplying the polynomial. You can use the box method, FOIL, or "double distributive" property

Answer 1

We have to use the "double distributive" property to solve the product

$\begin{gathered} (x+4)(x+6)=x\cdot x+x\cdot6+4\cdot x+4\cdot6=x^2+6x+4x+24 \\ \end{gathered}$

Then, we reduce like terms

$x^2+10x+24$

Additionally, using the box method, we have the following
