FOIL (x+8) (x-6) =
FOIL (x+8) (x-6) = x2 Firsts
FOIL (x+8) (x-6) = x2 – 6x Firsts Outers
FOIL (x+8) (x-6) = x2 – 6x + 8x Firsts Outers Inners
FOIL (x+8) (x-6) = x2 – 6x + 8x -48 Firsts Outers Inners Lasts
FOIL (x+8) (x-6) = x2 – 6x + 8x -48 x2 -48 -6x+8x Firsts Outers Inners Lasts x2 -48 + 2x now Simplify
Smiley Face (x+8) (x-6) = x2 – 48 + 8x – 6x = x2 + 2x - 48
