Answer: a^2 -15a + 44

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying this problem you need to do it by “variable”

First: a x a = a^2
Second: a x -11 = -11a
Third: -4 x a = -4a
Fourth: -4 x -11 = 44

Then put those into an expression
a^2-4a-11a+44

Combined the like “variables” to get the simplest answer
a^2(-4a-11a)+44
-4a-11a = -15a

So the answer is
a^2 -15a + 44
