2.7 Distributive Property and Binomial Multiplication PDF
Question: Use the FOIL method to expand this expression. Collect like
terms in descending order.
(3x − 4)(5x + 2)
Answer choices:
A 15x 2 + 26x − 2
B 15x 2 − 26x + 8
C 15x 2 + 14x − 2
D 15x 2 − 14x − 8
37
Solution: D
To expand
(3x − 4)(5x + 2)
Outside pair 3x ⋅ 2 = 6x
Last pair −4 ⋅ 2 = − 8
15x 2 − 14x − 8

Topic: Distributive property and binomial multiplication
3(x + 2)(x + 6)
Answer choices:
A x 2 + 12x + 12
B 3x 2 + 8x + 36
C 3x 2 + 24x + 36
D x 2 + 8x + 4
39
Solution: C
3(x + 2)(x + 6)
[3(x) + 3(2)](x + 6)
(3x + 6)(x + 6)
Now we’ll distribute each term in the first set of parentheses across both
of the terms in the second set of parentheses.
3x(x + 6) + 6(x + 6)
3x 2 + 18x + 6x + 36
3x 2 + 24x + 36

Topic: Distributive property and binomial multiplication
Answer choices:
B 2x 4 − 8x 3 − 30x 2 − 12x
D 2x 4 − 8x 3 − 30x 2 + 36x
41
Solution: D
(2x 3 + 6x 2 − 2x 2 − 6x)(x − 6)
(2x 3 + 4x 2 − 6x)(x − 6)
2x 4 − 8x 3 − 30x 2 + 36x
