Multiply: (3x - 5)(-x+4)
Applying the distributive property, the expression becomes (3x)(-x) + (3x)(4) + (-5)(-x) + (-5)(4).
What is the simplified product in standard form?

Given:

Multiply: [tex](3x-5)(-x+4)[/tex].

To find:

The simplified product in standard form.

Solution:

We have,

[tex](3x-5)(-x+4)[/tex]

Applying the distributive property, the expression becomes

[tex]=(3x)(-x)+(3x)(4)+(-5)(-x)+(-5)(4)[/tex]

[tex]=(-3x^2)+12x+5x+(-20)[/tex]

On combining like terms, we get

[tex]=-3x^2+(12x+5x)-20[/tex]

[tex]=-3x^2+17x-20[/tex]

Therefore, the simplified product in standard form is [tex]-3x^2+17x-20[/tex].
