| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{8p+3}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 5p-6\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{8p+3}\right) \cdot \left( 5p-6\right) = 40p^2-48p+15p-18 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 40p^2 \color{blue}{-48p} + \color{blue}{15p} -18 = 40p^2 \color{blue}{-33p} -18 $$ |
