GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 10 of 10

This question practices expanding brackets where both terms are negative integers.

‹

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Expand and simplify the expression:} \\ (x - 5)(x - 12)\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 - 17x + 60 \) \( x^2 - 12x + 60 \) \( x^2 - 17x + 65 \)

Pay close attention to negative signs when combining x-terms.

Use FOIL systematically and combine like terms carefully to get the final simplified expression.
