49n^4 +63n^3 + 22n^2 = 33n - 35

Explanation:

Distribution-
(7n^2 + 8n + 7)(7n^2 + n - 5)

Multiply 7n^2, 8n, and 7 EACH by 7n^2, n, and -5.

For 7n^2 :
7n^2*7n^2 = 49n^4
7n^2*n = 7n^3
7n^2*-5 = -35n^2

do the same for 8n and 7
You should get:
(49n^4 + 7n^3 - 35n^2) + (56n^3 +8n^2 - 40n) +(49n^2 +7n - 35)

Now combine like terms-

49n^4 + 63n^3 + 22n^2 - 33n - 35
