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

Find the product $s\left(s^2-s t\right)$ and evaluate it fore $s = 2$ and $t = 3$.
Answer$s\left(s^2-s t\right)$
$=s \times s^2-s \times s t$
$=s^{(1+2)}-s^{(1+1)} \times t$
$=s^3-s^2 t$
When $s=2$ and $t=3$, we get,
$\text { L.H.S. }=s\left(s^2-s t\right)$
$=2\left(2^2-2 \times 3\right)$
$=2 \times(4-6)$
$=-4$
$\text { R.H.S. }=s^3-s^2 t$
$=2^3-2^2 \times 3$
$=8-12$
$=-4$
$\text { L.H.S. }=\text { R.H.S. }$
$\therefore s\left(s^2-s t\right)=s^3-s^2 t$
