| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{5z-7}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 5z-7\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{5z-7}\right) \cdot \left( 5z-7\right) = 25z^2-35z-35z+49 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 25z^2 \color{blue}{-35z} \color{blue}{-35z} +49 = 25z^2 \color{blue}{-70z} +49 $$ |
