Put the steps in the correct order when multiplying the binomials: (2x−5)(x+7) . Start with the given expression and end with the simplified trinomial.

Question

A) (2x - 5) (x + 7)
B) 2x^2 + 14x - 5x - 35
C) (2x) (x) + (2x) (7) + (-5) (x) + (-5) (7)
D) 2x^2 + 9x - 35

Answer 1

The correct order of the steps when multiplying the binomials (2x−5)(x+7) is as follows:

1. A) (2x - 5) (x + 7)
2. C) (2x) (x) + (2x) (7) + (-5) (x) + (-5) (7)
3. B) 2x^2 + 14x - 5x - 35
4. D) 2x^2 + 9x - 35

So the final order is: A, C, B, D.
