\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Expand and simplify the expression (double brackets):} \\ (x + 11)(x - 2)\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 + 9x - 22 \) \( x^2 + 8x - 22 \) \( x^2 + 9x - 21 \) \( x^2 + 7x - 22 \)

Check sums of x-terms to avoid mistakes.

Distribute each term and combine like terms carefully.
