You would use the FOIL method, first outer inner last, to get this answer. You multiply the first set of numbers together, then the outer set of numbers, then the inner, and finally the last set of numbers. All that's left to do is simplify if needed and in order of descending powers.

So ( a + b ) * ( c + d ) = ac + ad + bc + bd

This would give us the answer of...

( x - 2 ) ( x + 4 ) = x^2 + 4x - 2x - 8 = x^2 + 2x - 8
