20y^3-23y^2-31y-620y323y231y6

Explanation:

We must ensure that each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each term in the first bracket.

rArr(color(red)(5y+3))(4y^2-7y-2)(5y+3)(4y27y2)

=color(red)(5y)(4y^2-7y-2)color(red)(+3)(4y^2-7y-2)=5y(4y27y2)+3(4y27y2)

"now distribute the brackets"now distribute the brackets

=20y^3-35y^2-10y+12y^2-21y-6=20y335y210y+12y221y6

"collecting like terms gives"collecting like terms gives

=20y^3+y^2(-35+12)+y(-10-21)-6=20y3+y2(35+12)+y(1021)6

=20y^3-23y^2-31y-6=20y323y231y6
