4. Distributive Property
When multiplying things inside a set of parentheses by what is outside, we used the distributive property.
For example 3(x + 1)
But what if there is another set of parentheses?
How would we do (x + 2)(x – 3)?

5. F.O.I.L. F – First O – Outer I – Inner L - Last
The FOIL method is an acronym for how we use the distributive property when there are binomials involved.
The letters of FOIL tell us what to multiply and in what order.
F – First
O – Outer
I – Inner
L - Last

6. Example 1
(x + 4)(x – 5)

7. Example 2
(5x + 2)(3x + 5)

8. Example 3
(-9x – 4)(-x + 7)

9. Example 4
(4x + 1)(4x – 1)
