(x+7)(x-2)
To multiply the expression (x+7)(x-2), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression with each term of the second expression
To multiply the expression (x+7)(x-2), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression with each term of the second expression.
First, let’s multiply the x term in the first expression (x+7) with both terms in the second expression (x-2):
x * x = x^2
x * (-2) = -2x
Next, let’s multiply the 7 term in the first expression (x+7) with both terms in the second expression (x-2):
7 * x = 7x
7 * (-2) = -14
Now, let’s combine the like terms:
(x^2) + (-2x) + (7x) + (-14)
To simplify further, we can combine the like terms -2x and 7x:
(x^2 + 5x) + (-14)
So, the final simplified expression is:
x^2 + 5x – 14
