| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{7x-3}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 5x+4\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{7x-3}\right) \cdot \left( 5x+4\right) = 35x^2+28x-15x-12 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 35x^2+ \color{blue}{28x} \color{blue}{-15x} -12 = 35x^2+ \color{blue}{13x} -12 $$ |
