Respuesta :

Answer:

12x^3 + 19x^2 +x - 5  

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x^2 + x - 1 ) (4x + 5)

12x^3 + 15x^2  + 4x^2 + 5x - 4x - 5           use the Distributive    

                                                                  Property* to  multiply

                                                                  each term by each other

                                                                  term.

12x^3 + 19x^2 +x - 5                                  simply

*Distribute the first number to 4x, and then by 5. Then distribute x to 4x and 5, and distribute -1 to 4x and 5. By distribute I mean multiply.
