Perform the operations and simplify. $$(4 x-1)(2 x-7)$$
Added by Lisa H.
Step 1
First, we'll use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method) to multiply the two binomials: $$(4x - 1)(2x - 7) = (4x)(2x) + (4x)(-7) + (-1)(2x) + (-1)(-7)$$ Now, we'll multiply the terms: $$= 8x^2 - 28x - 2x + 7$$ Show more…
