multiply. (v + 4)(v - 6) simplify your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Use the distributive property (FOIL method)

$$(v + 4)(v - 6)=v\times v+v\times(-6)+4\times v + 4\times(-6)$$

Step2: Simplify each term

$$v\times v = v^{2},v\times(-6)=-6v,4\times v = 4v,4\times(-6)=-24$$

Step3: Combine like terms

$$v^{2}-6v + 4v-24=v^{2}+(-6 + 4)v-24$$ $$v^{2}-2v-24$$

Answer:

$v^{2}-2v - 24$
