Hi!
So we distribute each term into the other equation.
\(\Large\bf{3x \times 2x + 3x(-7) -5 \times 2x-5(-7)}\)
Can you simplify this?

The next step to to combine like terms

\[9x^2-21x-10x-35\]
tigerlover:
\[21x+10x=?\]
563blackghost:
@tigerlover I think you did your simplification incorrectly.
If we simplify we should get...
\(\large\bf{(3x \times 2x)+(3x(-7)) - (4 \times 2x) - (5(-7))}\)
\(\Large\bf{\color{Red}{6x^{2} - 31x+35}}\)

@563blackghost I was taught the foil method. Im sorry for any inconvenience.

\[(3x-5)(2x-7)\]

I see what I did wrong and I will correct it
tigerlover:
\[3x*2x= 6x^2\]
tigerlover:
\[3x*-7=-21x\]
tigerlover:
So far we have \[6x^2-21x\]
tigerlover:
\[-5*2x=-10x\]

tigerlover:
\[-5*-7=35\]
tigerlover:
Now, we have the whole equation: \[6x^2-21x-10x+35\]
tigerlover:
We need to combine like terms. Simply: \[-21x+-10x=-31x\]
tigerlover:
So your answer is \[6x^2-31x+35\]
tigerlover:
I hope this helped.
