Question
Find the product:
$-5a(7a - 2b)$
✓
Answer
To find the product, we will use distributive law as follows:
$-5a(7a - 2b) $
$= (-5a) × 7a + (-5a) × (-2b)$
$ = (-5 × 7) × (a × a) + (-5 × (-2)) × (a × b) $
$= (-35) × (a^{1+1}) + (10) × (a × b) $
$= -35a^2+ 10ab $
Thus, the answer is $-35a^2+ 10ab$
