| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{5x-4}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 8x-11\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{5x-4}\right) \cdot \left( 8x-11\right) = 40x^2-55x-32x+44 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 40x^2 \color{blue}{-55x} \color{blue}{-32x} +44 = 40x^2 \color{blue}{-87x} +44 $$ |
