What is (x+3) (x-1) equal to

x^2+2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

lets use the multiplication property of distrubution.

x * x = x^2

x * - 1 = - x

(x+3) (x-1)

= (x+3) (x+-1)

= (x) (x) + (x) (-1) + (3) (x) + (3) (-1)

=x2-x+3x-3

=x^2+2x-3

x² + 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 3) (x - 1)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x (x - 1) + 3 (x - 1) ← distribute both parenthesis

x² - x + 3x - 3 ← collect like terms

= x² + 2x - 3
