Answer: -3x² +17x -20

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this we have to apply distributive property.

To do this, we have to multiply each addend separately and then add the products.

(3x-5)(-x+4)

(3x.-x) (3x.4) (-5.-x) (-5.4)

-3x² +12 x+5x-20

Adding alike terms to simplify (in this case 12x + 5x)

-3x² +17x -20

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
