| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{28-x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 14-x\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{28-x}\right) \cdot \left( 14-x\right) = 392-28x-14x+x^2 $$$$ \left( \color{blue}{20-14x}\right) \cdot 30 = 600-420x $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{18} $ by $ \left( 28-x\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{18} \cdot \left( 28-x\right) = 504-18x $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{392} \color{red}{-28x} \color{red}{-14x} +x^2 \color{blue}{-144} = x^2 \color{red}{-42x} + \color{blue}{248} $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{240} + \color{blue}{504} -18x = -18x+ \color{blue}{744} $$ |
| ④ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{40-x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x^2-42x+248\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{40-x}\right) \cdot \left( x^2-42x+248\right) = 40x^2-1680x+9920-x^3+42x^2-248x $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{20} $ by $ \left( 600-420x\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{20} \cdot \left( 600-420x\right) = 12000-8400x $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{18} $ by $ \left( -18x+744\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{18} \cdot \left( -18x+744\right) = -324x+13392 $$ |
| ⑤ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{40x^2} \color{red}{-1680x} +9920-x^3+ \color{blue}{42x^2} \color{red}{-248x} = -x^3+ \color{blue}{82x^2} \color{red}{-1928x} +9920 $$ |
| ⑥ | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 12000-8400x \right) = -12000+8400x $$ |
| ⑦ | Combine like terms: $$ -x^3+82x^2 \color{blue}{-1928x} + \color{red}{9920} \color{red}{-12000} + \color{blue}{8400x} = -x^3+82x^2+ \color{blue}{6472x} \color{red}{-2080} $$ |
| ⑧ | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( -324x+13392 \right) = 324x-13392 $$ |
| ⑨ | Combine like terms: $$ -x^3+82x^2+ \color{blue}{6472x} \color{red}{-2080} + \color{blue}{324x} \color{red}{-13392} = -x^3+82x^2+ \color{blue}{6796x} \color{red}{-15472} $$ |
