Question

How do you multiply `(3v - 8) ( 2v + 5)`?

Answer 1

`6v^2 - v - 40`

Explanation:

I use the FOIL method to multiply brackets:
First
Outside
Inside
Last

This just means multiply every term inside the bracket with the two from the other bracket.
You then collect together the like terms in this case 15v - 16v which comes from multipllying 3v and 5 and then -8 and 2v
