Question:
Find the following product:
−5a(7a − 2b)
Solution:
To find the product, we will use distributive law as follows:
$-5 a(7 a-2 b)$
$=(-5 a) \times 7 a+(-5 a) \times(-2 b)$
$=(-5 \times 7) \times(a \times a)+(-5 \times(-2)) \times(a \times b)$
$=(-35) \times\left(a^{1+1}\right)+(10) \times(a \times b)$
$=-35 a^{2}+10 a b$
Thus, the answer is $-35 a^{2}+10 a b$.
