Apply the disruptive property to multiply ( x - 5 ( x - 1 is it X2 + 5 x 2 - 6X + 5 x 2 - 5x + 5 x 2 + 6x + 5

1 answer

To multiply (x - 5) by (x - 1), you use the distributive property.

(x - 5)(x - 1) = x*x - x*1 - 5*x + 5*1
= x^2 - x - 5x + 5
= x^2 - 6x + 5

So, the correct answer is x^2 - 6x + 5.
