Multiply (6x - 5y) (-3x + 2y)

1 answer

To multiply the expressions \((6x - 5y)\) and \((-3x + 2y)\), we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

\[ (6x - 5y)(-3x + 2y) \]

We will multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression:

  1. First terms: \[ 6x \cdot (-3x) = -18x^2 \]

  2. Outer terms: \[ 6x \cdot 2y = 12xy \]

  3. Inner terms: \[ -5y \cdot (-3x) = 15xy \]

  4. Last terms: \[ -5y \cdot 2y = -10y^2 \]

Now, combine all these results together:

\[ -18x^2 + 12xy + 15xy - 10y^2 \]

Next, we can combine the like terms (\(12xy\) and \(15xy\)):

\[ -18x^2 + (12xy + 15xy) - 10y^2 = -18x^2 + 27xy - 10y^2 \]

Thus, the final result is:

\[ \boxed{-18x^2 + 27xy - 10y^2} \]
