Question

a tool, such as algebra tiles or paper and pencil, to find each product.

1. $(h - 2)(3h + 5)$

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property (FOIL)

First terms: $h \times 3h = 3h^2$
Outer terms: $h \times 5 = 5h$
Inner terms: $-2 \times 3h = -6h$
Last terms: $-2 \times 5 = -10$

Step2: Combine like terms

$3h^2 + 5h - 6h - 10 = 3h^2 + (5h - 6h) - 10$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$3h^2 - h - 10$

Answer:

$3h^2 - h - 10$
