See the entire solution process below:

To multiply these two terms you multiply each individual term in the left parenthesis by each individual term in the right parenthesis.

$(color(red)(2x) + color(red)(2))(color(blue)(5x) - color(blue)(3))$ becomes:

$(color(red)(2x) xx color(blue)(5x)) - (color(red)(2x) xx color(blue)(3)) + (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(5x)) - (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(3))$

$10x^2 - 6x + 10x - 6$

We can now combine like terms:

$10x^2 + (-6 + 10)x - 6$

$10x^2 + 4x - 6$

How do you multiply (2x+2)(5x-3)(2x+2)(5x-3)?
