Question
Simplify: $(9 x-7)(2 x-5)-(3 x-8)(5 x-3)$

Answer

$(9 x-7)(2 x-5)$
$=9 x \times(2 x-5)-7(2 x-5)$
$=18 x^{(1+1)}-45 x-14 x+35$
$=18 x^2-59 x+35$
$(3 x-8)(5 x-3)$
$=3 x(5 x-3)-8(5 x-3)$
$=15 x^2-9 x-40 x+24$
$=15 x^2-49 x+24$
$\therefore(2 x-5)-(3 x-8)(5 x-3)$
$=18 x^2-59 x+35-\left(15 x^2-49 x+24\right)$
$=18 x^2-15 x^2-59 x+49 x+35-24$
$=3 x 2-10 x+11$
