Question

multiply.
(-7x + 6)(2x - 5)
simplify your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the distributive property (FOIL method)

Multiply the First terms: \((-7x)(2x) = -14x^2\)
Multiply the Outer terms: \((-7x)(-5) = 35x\)
Multiply the Inner terms: \((6)(2x) = 12x\)
Multiply the Last terms: \((6)(-5) = -30\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine the \(x\) terms: \(35x + 12x = 47x\)
So the expression becomes: \(-14x^2 + 47x - 30\)

Answer:

\(-14x^2 + 47x - 30\)
