Multiply out and simplify:
(x-8) (x-7)

To expand the brackets, each term in the first bracket must be multiplied by each term in the second bracket and then simplified:

(x-8) (x-7) = (x × x) - (7 × x) - (8 × x) + (8×7)

               = x² - 7x - 8x + 56

               = x² - 15x + 56

x^2-15x+56

Step-by-step explanation:

1-Distribute

x(x-7)-8(x-7)

2-Distribute

x^2-7x-8(x-7)

3-Distribute

x^2-7x-8x+56

4-Combine like terms

x^2-15x+56

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
