| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{5x-4}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 5x+3\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{5x-4}\right) \cdot \left( 5x+3\right) = 25x^2+15x-20x-12 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 25x^2+ \color{blue}{15x} \color{blue}{-20x} -12 = 25x^2 \color{blue}{-5x} -12 $$ |
