Solution Steps

00:00 Solution
00:03 Let's open the parentheses properly, multiply each factor by each factor
00:41 Let's calculate the multiplications
01:16 Positive times negative always equals negative
01:27 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to simplify the given expression we must use the expanded distributive law as seen below:

(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

First, we'll perform the multiplication between the pairs of parentheses, using the mentioned distributive law, and then we'll combine like terms if possible. We'll do this whilst taking into account the correct multiplication of signs:

(74y)(5x+6)=35x4220xy24y (-7-4y)(5x+6)=\\ -35x-42-20xy-24y Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.

Answer

35x4220xy24y -35x-42-20xy-24y
