Answer:

The middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3) is -7

Explanation:

Consider the given expression (x - 4)(x - 3)

We have to find the middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3).

First multiply the given terms, we get,


(x - 4)(x - 3)=x(x-3)-4(x-3)

Simplify, we get,


x(x-3)-4(x-3)=x^2-3x-4x+12

Simplify further, we get,


x^2-3x-4x+12=x^2-7x+12

Thus, the middle term of the product of (x - 4)(x - 3) is -7
