| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{12x+5y}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -4x+8y\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{12x+5y}\right) \cdot \left( -4x+8y\right) = -48x^2+96xy-20xy+40y^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ -48x^2+ \color{blue}{96xy} \color{blue}{-20xy} +40y^2 = -48x^2+ \color{blue}{76xy} +40y^2 $$ |
