Applying the distributive property, the expression becomes (3x)(-x) + (3x)(4) + (-5)(-x) + (-5)(4).
What is the simplified product in standard form?

Answer 1

Let's see

`\\ \rm\longmapsto (3x-5)(-x+4)`

• a(b+c)=ab-bc

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 3x(-x+4)-5(-x+4)`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto -3x^2+12x+5x-20`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto -3x^2+17x-20`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Multiply: (3x - 5)(-x + 4)

By applying the distributive property,

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

= (3x)(-x) + (3x)(4) - (5)(-x) - (5)(4)

= -3x^2 + 12x + 5x - 20

= -3x^2 + 17x - 20

That is the simplified product in standard form.
