Multiplication of Two Binomials

In the multiplication of two binomials, we will use the distributive property of multiplication of literals over their addition.
Let us consider, two binomials say (a + b) and (c + d). By using the distributive property of multiplication of literals over their addition, we have
(a + b) x (c + d) = a x (c + d) + b x (c + d)
                  = (a x c + a x d) + (b x c + b x d)
                  = ac + ad + bc + bd.
To multiply any two binomials, we multiply each term of one binomial with every term of the other binomial and add all the products so obtained.
