The following steps are used to rewrite the polynomial expression (x+2y)(x-5y)
step 1: x(x-5y)+2y(x-5y).
step 2: x^2-5xy+2yx-10y^2.
step 3: x^2-5xy+2xy-10y^2.
step 4: x^2-3xy-10y^2

1. distributivity of the multiplication (a+b)(c-d)=a(c-d)+b(c-d)
2. the same
3. comutativity of the multiplication a*b=b*a
4. we give common factor xy: -5xy+2xy=xy(-5+2)=-3xy

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply two binomials given as

(x+2y)(x-5y)                    

step 1: x(x-5y)+2y(x-5y).    ...         Distributive property over multiplication

step 2: x^2-5xy+2yx-10y^2.    ... Distributive property over multiplication

step 3: x^2-5xy+2xy-10y^2.  ...    Commutative property over multiplication

step 4: x^2-3xy-10y^2        ...      Simplifying like terms

Thus first we distribute x the first term in the first bracket over the two elements in the second term.  Then second term in the first bracket.

Then use commutative property, and simplify like terms
