Question Use the box method to distribute and simplify \( (3 x-5)(3 x+1) \). Drag and drop the terms to the correct locations of the table. \[ (3 x-5)(3 x+1) \] \[ \text { Show fomptes } \] Answer Attempt out of 2

Step 1: Set up the Box Draw a 2×2 grid. Label the top columns with the terms from the second factor (3x and +1) and the rows with the terms from the first factor (3x and –5): 3x | +1 ------------------------- 3x | (3x)(3x) | (3x)(+1) ------------------------- –5 | (–5)(3x) | (–5)(+1) Step 2: Fill in Each Box • Top left: (3x)(3x) = 9x² • Top right: (3x)(+1) = 3x • Bottom left: (–5)(3x) = –15x • Bottom right: (–5)(+1) = –5 Step 3: Combine Like Terms Add the middle terms:   3x + (–15x) = –12x So the expression simplifies to:   9x² – 12x – 5 Final Answer: (3x – 5)(3x + 1) = 9x² – 12x – 5
