=color(blue)(3n^2-23n+14=3n223n+14

Explanation:

The expression is : (n−7)(3n−2)(n7)(3n2)

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

1) product of First terms :(color(blue)(n and 3n))(nand3n)+

2)product of Outside terms:(color(blue)(n and -2))(nand2)+

3)product of Inside terms:(color(blue)(-7 and 3n))(7and3n)+

4)product of Last terms:(color(blue)(-7 and -2))(7and2)

1) n *3n=color(blue)(3n^2) +n3n=3n2+

2) n * -2=-color(blue)(2n)+n2=2n+

3) -7 * 3n = color(blue)(-21n)+73n=21n+

4) -7 *-2 = color(blue)1472=14

adding all the terms

=color(blue)(3n^2-2n-21n+14=3n22n21n+14
=color(blue)(3n^2-23n+14=3n223n+14
