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