      FOIL

      When we multiply two linear binomials, we can use the word FOIL (First Outers Inners Last) to help us remember that each term in the first bracket must be multiplied by each term in the second bracket.

      Using FOIL to multiply out brackets

      It is important to understand FOIL as you will come back to this concept in factorisation. Watch the video Multiplying binomials to learn more about FOIL.
