| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{6a-5}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 7a+3\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{6a-5}\right) \cdot \left( 7a+3\right) = 42a^2+18a-35a-15 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 42a^2+ \color{blue}{18a} \color{blue}{-35a} -15 = 42a^2 \color{blue}{-17a} -15 $$ |
