Hey you seem smart, ever heard of the
.F.O.I.L. Method?? I know you use it in
math but I cannot remember what it stood
for. I asked my mom and sisters and no
one knows. Its like at the tip of my
tounge and I just cant get it out! Any
help? Lol

Yeah.
Say you have (x+3)(x+1)
do this:
first: x * x = x squared
outside: x * 1 = x
inside: 3 * x = 3x
last: 3 * 1 = 3
now add them all up and you get: x
squared + 4x + 3.
So (x+3)(x+1) = x squared + 4x + 3.

See I knew it! Thats what I thought it
was but I wasnt sure. I knew I used it in
school but my other dorky sisters thought
I was crazy. That was some hard math.
That stuff lowered me to a b for a while
lol.
