2. Steps to FOIL F irst (multiply the first term of each binomial together)F irst (multiply the first term of each binomial together) O uter(multiply the two outside terms together) I nner(Multiply the two inside terms together) L ast(multiply the last term of each binomial together)

3. Solve This Equation! (X+2) (X+3) What Next?

4. F irst (multiply the first term of each binomial together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 )

5. F irst (multiply the first term of each binomial together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) = X^2

6. O uter(multiply the two outside terms together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) X^2 + __ + __ + __

7. O uter(multiply the two outside terms together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) = 3X X^2 + __ + __ + __

8. I nner(Multiply the two inside terms together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) X^2 + 3X + __ + __

9. I nner(Multiply the two inside terms together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) = 2X X^2 + 3X + __ + __

10. L ast(multiply the last term of each binomial together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) X^2 + 3X + 2X + __

11. L ast(multiply the last term of each binomial together) ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) = 6 X^2 + 3X + 2X + __

12. Smile! ( X + 2 ) ( X + 3 ) X^2 + 3X + 2X + 6

13. Combine Like Terms! X^2 + 3X + 2X+ 6

14. Combine Like Terms! X^2 + 5X + 6 X^2 + 3X + 2X+ 6
