Answer:

3(x + 4)(x - 5) = 3x² - 3x - 60.

Explanation:

3(x + 4)(x - 5)

Combine x + 4 and x - 5 using FOIL, or first, outer, inner, last.

F: x * x = x²

O: x * -5 = -5x

I: x * 4 = 4x

L: 4 * -5 = -20

3(x² - 5x + 4x - 20)
Simplify inside the parenthesis.

3(x² - x - 20)

Distribute the 3 into the equation.

3x² - 3x - 60
