Answer:

33+12t−21t^2

Explanation:

(2t-7)²-(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (2t-7)².

4t^2−28t+49−(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (5t-4)².

4t^2−28t+49−(25t^2−40t+16)

To find the opposite of 25t^2

−40t+16, find the opposite of each term.

4t^2−28t+49−25t^2−40t+16

Combine 4t^2 and −25t^2 to get −21t^2.

−21t^2−28t+49+40t−16

Combine −28t and 40t to get 12t.

−21t^2+12t+49−16

Subtract 16 from 49 to get 33.

−21t^2+12t+33

Swap terms to the left side.

33+12t−21t^2

I hope this helped!
