=color(blue)(-30x^2+27x-6

Explanation:

The expression is : (6x−3)(-5x +2)

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

1) product of First terms :(color(blue)(6x and -5x))+

2)product of Outside terms:(color(blue)(6x and 2))+

3)product of Inside terms:(color(blue)(-3 and -5x))+

4)product of Last terms:(color(blue)(-3 and 2))

1) 6x *-5x=color(blue)(-30x^2) +

2) 6x* 2=color(blue)(12x)+

3) -3 * -5x = color(blue)(+15x)+

4) -3 *2 = color(blue)(-6

adding all the terms

=color(blue)(-30x^2+12x+15x-6
=color(blue)(-30x^2+27x-6
