Answer:

6x² + 14x - 80

Explanation:

We can expand the factored expression:

(3x - 8)(2x + 10)

by applying the distributive property.

→ a(c + d) = ac + ad

→ (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

(3x - 8)(2x + 10) = 3x(2x) + 3x(10) - 8(2x) - 8(10)

= 6x² + 30x - 16x - 80

Then, we can combine like terms:

= 6x² + 14x - 80
