(-3x + 4)(-2x - 5)
-3x 4
-2x 6x² -8x
-5 15x -20
correct! now write the simplified answer in the box below.

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply terms using FOIL (or box - method results)

We have the terms from the box: $6x^{2}-8x + 15x-20$.

Step2: Combine like - terms

Combine the $x$ terms: $-8x+15x = 7x$. So the expression becomes $6x^{2}+7x - 20$.

Answer:

$6x^{2}+7x - 20$
