| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{4x-8}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 7x+11\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{4x-8}\right) \cdot \left( 7x+11\right) = 28x^2+44x-56x-88 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 28x^2+ \color{blue}{44x} \color{blue}{-56x} -88 = 28x^2 \color{blue}{-12x} -88 $$ |
