(3x − 4)(5x + 2) simplify the binomial expression. Can anybody help explain how to do this please?

I think you mean multiply and not simplify, as this is the simplified form.

Use the FOIL technique:

F = First
O = Outside
I = Inside
L = Last

(3x * 5x) + (2 * 3x) + (-4 * 5x) + (-4 * 2)


15x^2 - 14x -8
