Answer:

C

Explanation:

(5r + 8 - 6r)(4 + 2r - 7) ← collect like terms inside each parenthesis

= (8 - r)(2r - 3)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor.

8(2r - 3) - r(2r - 3) ← distribute parenthesis

= 16r - 24 - 2r² + 3r ← collect like terms

= - 2r² + 19r - 24
