Accepted Answer

Hello today we're going to be performing the given multiplication. So what we are given is the quantity 11 x minus three times the quantity 15 X plus four. Now in order to multiply these quantities together, we're going to need to foil them together. What that means is we're going to take the first term of the first quantity and multiply it to each term in the second quantity. So 11 x times 15 x is going to give us 165 x squared next 11 X times four is going to give us positive 44 X. The next step in the foiling process is to take our second term which is negative three and multiply to each term in the second quantity. So negative three times 15 X is going to give us negative 45 X. And finally -3 times four is going to give us -12. So this is the product of the two quantities multiplied together. However we can further simplify this by combining the X terms together. And if we combine the X terms together, what we get is 100 and 65 X squared X minus 45 X. Which is going to give us negative X minus 12. And this is going to be the product of the two quantities in its simplest form. And with that being said, the answer to this problem is going to be be So I hope this video helps you in understanding how to multiply the quantities together and I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video
