Question

Simplify: $(5x - 3)(x + 2) - (2x + 5)(4x - 3)$

✓

Answer

To simplify, we will proceed as follows:
$ (5 x-3)(x+2)-(2 x+5)(4 x-3)$
$ =[(5 x-3)(x+2)]-[(2 x+5)(4 x-3)] $
$ =[5 x(x+2)-3(x+2)]-[2 x(4 x-3)+5(4 x-3)] \text { (Distributive law) }$
$ =5 x^2+10 x-3 x-6-8 x^2+6 x-20 x+15 $
$ =5 x^2-8 x^2+10 x-3 x+6 x-20 x-6+15 \text { (Rearranging) } $
$ =-3 x^2-7 x+9 $
