multiply them! :) distribute the terms of both parenthesis: \[(5x+4)(2x-5)\]distribute the \(5x\) to \(2x\) and \(-5\) and the 4 to \(2x\) and \(-5\):\[[(5x\times2x)+(5x\times-5)+(4\times2x)+(4\times-5)]\]multiply:\[[(10x^2)+(-25x)+(8x)+(-20)]\]combine:\[10x^2-25x+8x-20\]simplify\[\large10x^2-17x-20\] hope that helps! :)
