Answer:
x² + 7x - 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply (x + 12) and (x - 5)
Use FOIL method:
FIRST terms (x)(x) = x²
OUTER terms (x)(-5) = -5x
INNER terms (12)(x) = 12x
LAST terms (12)(-5) = -60
Then add the outer and inner terms: (-5x) + (12x) = 7x
Bring down or copy the product of the first terms, the sum of outer and inner terms and the product of last terms.
x² + 7x - 60
