| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{7x+1}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -2x+1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{7x+1}\right) \cdot \left( -2x+1\right) = -14x^2+7x-2x+1 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ -14x^2+ \color{blue}{7x} \color{blue}{-2x} +1 = -14x^2+ \color{blue}{5x} +1 $$ |
