Math, Math, Math

Yes, I am actually posting about math, Lindsey. (u spelled your name wrong on your email, FYI) Well, we are doing quadratics, which are actually kinda fun. Here are some of my math problems:
  1. (x-3)(x+4)
  2. (x+3)(x+5)
  3. x(x+5)
  4. (x-2)(x-6)
  5. (x-3)(x+5)
They're quadratic equations. Don't ask me why I have to solve them or where that gets me in life, but, what the hey.
They are really easy, here: for the first one...
(x-3)(x+4)
first, you multiply x by x (for the fist x and the second x)= x to the power of 2
second, you multiply x by 4= 4x
third, you multiply -3 by the second x= -3x
next, you multilpy -3 by 4= -12
second to last, you add 4x + -3x or 4x - 3x= 1x either way
then you put them all together: x to the second power + 1x - 12
that is the answer, but we haven't learned how to actually solve for x yet, but I might be able to guess. don't expect me to put that on here though... cuz if it's wrong...
