Question

(5x + 5 - 2x)(4 + 7x - 1)

Answer 1

Answer: 21x^2 + 44x + 15

Explanation:

first, i used the distributive property.

5x x (4 + 7x - 1) + 5 (4 + 7x - 1) - 2x x (4 + 7x - 1)

then, i removed the parentheses.

20x + 35x^2 - 5x + 20 + 35x - 5 - 8x - 14x^2 + 2x

then, i collected the like terms.

44x + 21x^2 + 15

finally, i reordered the terms.

21x^2 + 44x + 15
