Remove the brackets and simplify (x-4) (x-7)

Answers
We can remove the brackets - called expanding the brackets - using FOIL which stands for First Outer Inner Last which is a procedure to follow to expand the brackets:For the general case (A + B)(C + D)A×C + A×D + B×C + B×DNow we apply this to (x − 4)(x − 7)x × x + x × -7 + -4 × x + -4 × -7= x^2 − 7x − 4x + 28Now we simplify:= x^2 − 11x + 28

There is a cheat for this....(x-4)(x-7), you have two 'x' that you are multiplying together so it will always be in the form x^2+x+n (n just means any number).You have two x's so you get x^2 at the startYou have (-4)x(-7) so you get n=+28 ( a minus times a minus gives a plus) at the end.Now for the middle term (-4)+(-7) = -11 which is the coefficient or number next to the x term.Altogether you get:X^2-11x+28Simply put: add the numbers together to get the coefficient of x and multiply them together to get the number at the end.Easy Peasy

(x-4)(x-7)= x^2 -7x -4x +28= x^2 -11x + 28

For questions like this, you have to make sure you times all the terms by the other ones. This means you do x*x + x*(-7) + (-4)*x + (-4)*(-7) Simplifying this it would be x^2 - 7x - 4x + 28= x^2 -11x +28Hope that helps!

This is just a matter of multiplying the brackets out. So, do it systematically:x multiplied by x is x^2 (x squared that is)x multiplied by -7 is -7x -4 multiplied by x is -4x-7 multiplied by -4 is 28So, now we're left with x^2-7x-4x+28 and to simplify we combine the -4x and -7x to -11x so now the final equation is x^2 -11x +28. Hope that helps.

In maths, whenever a set of numbers/letters are in a pair of brackets, next to another set of similar brackets - this means you need to multiply the two sets of brackets with each other.Work with one set of numbers/letters at a time.  Do not multiply the numbers within a set of brackets with each other (unless instructed to do).  Multiply the chosen number/letter with all the chosen number/letters in the other brackets.  keep all the signs.  e.g. x times x and x times -7 gives the following:-sx^x (x squared) and -7x.  Work through all the numbers from the first set of brackets and then add all the similar ones until you get your answer

The main best approach it to take the variables in the first bracket and they each multiply both variables in the second bracket.So the first variable x multiplies both variables in the second brackets.Then we take the second variable and it multiplies both variables in the second  bracket .Then we collect like terms and add where possible .

First we multiply out the brackets.(x-4)(x-7)x*x, x*-4, x*-7, -4*-7=x^2 -4x -7x +28Then we simplify=x^2 -11x +28And that's all there is to it.If you need any further help with similar problems, get in touch to organise a lesson!

Note: The x2 means it's squared. That's the only way it can be typed on the tutorhub textbox. The "2" in this case is a superscript. I hope this clarification is helpful. Thank you.

(X-4 ) (x-7)First we fill open the first bracket and multiply them by next bracket, as shown belowX × (x-7) -4 ×(x-7)After that, multiply x and 4 with brackets, as shown below,x^2 -7x -4x +28= x^2 -11x +28
