Math Problem Statement

(5x – 10)(3x + 15) =

Solution

To solve the expression (5x10)(3x+15)(5x - 10)(3x + 15), we'll use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

(5x10)(3x+15)(5x - 10)(3x + 15)

Expanding each term:

  1. First: 5x×3x=15x25x \times 3x = 15x^2
  2. Outer: 5x×15=75x5x \times 15 = 75x
  3. Inner: 10×3x=30x-10 \times 3x = -30x
  4. Last: 10×15=150-10 \times 15 = -150

Now, combine all these terms together:

15x2+75x30x15015x^2 + 75x - 30x - 150

Combine like terms:

15x2+45x15015x^2 + 45x - 150

So, the expanded form of (5x10)(3x+15)(5x - 10)(3x + 15) is:

15x2+45x15015x^2 + 45x - 150
