=color(blue)(126x^2-365x+209

Explanation:

The expression is :(–14x+11)(–9x+19)

F O I L involves carrying out the below operations in the following order:

1) product of First terms :(color(blue)(-14x and -9x))+

2)product of Outside terms:(color(blue)(-14x and 19))+

3)product of Inside terms:(color(blue)(11 and -9x))+

4)product of Last terms:(color(blue)(11 and 19))

1) -14x *-9x=color(blue)(126x^2) +

2) -14x * 19=-color(blue)(266x)+

3) 11 * -9x = color(blue)(-99x)+

4) 11 *19 = color(blue)209

adding all the terms

=color(blue)(126x^2-266x-99x+209
=color(blue)(126x^2-365x+209
