What is the product of 2x-5 and 3x+4

Question

Answer to be right and exact

Answer 1

(2x-5)(3x + 4)

= 2x(3x) + (2x)(+4) + (-5)(3x) + (-5)(4)  Distribute each term in the first expression to the second expression

= 6x² + 8x - 15x -20  Multiply

= 6x² -7x - 20           Simplify by collecting like terms

Answer 2

(2x-5)(3x+4)

 

= 2x(3x)+2x(4)+(-5)(3x)+(-5)(4)

 

= 6x² + 8x - 15x - 20

 

= 6x² - 7x - 20
