write a trinomial expression that is equivalent to (2x+5)(3x-2)

Answer 1

If you use FOIL method of first outer inner and last.

you will have everything multiplied properly and have 3 leading terms: one with x^2, one with x, and one constant number with no x.

first will give you 6x^2,

outer gives you -4x

inner gives you 15x

last will give you -10

Now combine like terms, you can combine -4x and the 15x, to give you 11x

6x^2 +11x - 10

Answer 2

Multiply it out using the FOIL method then combine like-terms. That will give you the equivalent trinomial expression.

(2x+5)(3x-2) = 2x·3x + 2x·(-2) + 5·3x + 5·(-2) = ____?
