Answer:


-3x^2+17x-20

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
(3x-5)(-x+4). We are asked to find the simplified product of the given expression in standard form.

Using distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac, we will get:


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


-3x^2+12x+5x-20

Combine like terms:


-3x^2+17x-20

Therefore, the product of our given expression would be
-3x^2+17x-20.
