Algebra-1

To expand the expression (x - 1)(x - 8), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression by each term of the second expression:

(x - 1)(x - 8) = x * (x - 8) - 1 * (x - 8)

Expanding further:

= x² - 8x - x + 8

Combining like terms:

= x² + (-8x - x) + 8
