Ok.. i have another math problem.. i am sorry, math is my hardest subject and i am trying to learn on my own but this has got to be turned in by (y-15)(y- in advance for your .. i tried to do it on my own but i believe i got mixed up on one !

To solve this, we will use the Distributive Property. An easy way to remember how to do these problems is the acronym F.O.I.L. This acronym tells which numbers in the parentheses you should multiply. It stands for:

First
Outside
Inside
Last

Using this acronym, let's begin to solve.

(y-15)(y-8)

First: y*y=y²
Outside: y*-8=-8y
Inside: -15*y=-15y
Last: -15*-8=120

Now, we need to simplify our answer by combining the like-terms.

y²-8y-15y+120
y²-23y+120

That's it! The solution to this problem is y²-23y+120.

Add up all the sides
