Answer:

10x^2 - 11x -6

Explanation:

1/ First, distribute the brackets:

( multiply 5x to the other bracket, then 2 multiply it also to the other bracket)

After the distribution you'll get this:

10x^2 - 15x + 4x - 6

2/ finally, to simplify you'll have to combine the like terms:

( as you can see the only like terms we have are -15x and +4x)

combine them and you'll get:

10x^2 - 11x -6 ( this is the final answer)
