Explanation:
each term in the second factor is multiplied by each
term in the first factor
(8x5)(4x)7
=8x(4x-7)-5(4x-7)
=(8x×4x)+(8x×7)+(5×4x)+(5×7)
=32x2+(56x)+(20x)+35 collect like terms
=32x256x20x+35
=32x276x+35

Given:
(8x-5)(4x-7)
Use the distributive property to distribute the first factor across the second factor:
8x(4x-7)-5(4x-7)
Use the distributive property, again, to multiply through the parentheses:
32x256x20x+35
Combine like terms:
32x276x+35
This method produces the same results as the F.O.I.L. method but it, unlike the F.O.I.L method, can be used for polynomials of any size.
