    First outside inside last

    Times everything in first by everything in second.

    For the squares, just expand them to a double and simplify normally

    Use FOIL:

    1. x² + x + 3x + 3 = x² + 4x + 3

    2. x² - 9x - 5x + 45 = x² - 14x + 45

    3. x² - __ - ___ + ___ = ___________

    4. 6x² + 8x + 27x + 36 = __________

    5. 10x² - 15x - 4x + 6 = ___________

    6. (x + 7)² = x² + 14x + 49

    7. = 4x² - 6x - 6x + 9 = ___________

    8. 4x² - 9
