match the steps for multiplying polynomials.
distribute to expand and remove parentheses
write your answer in standard form
combine like terms
step 2
step 1
step 4
step 3

Explanation:

1. The first step to multiply polynomials is to use distribution (like FOIL or the distributive property) to eliminate parentheses.
2. After expanding, the next step is to combine any like terms that result from the expansion.
3. The final step is to rewrite the resulting polynomial in standard form, which orders terms from highest degree to lowest degree.

Answer:

• Distribute to expand and remove parentheses: Step 1
• Combine like terms: Step 2
• Write your answer in Standard Form: Step 3
