Use the idea that

(a+b)(c+d) = a(c+d) + b(c+d)

to get this:

(6q + 5r)(7q - 12r)

6q(7q - 12r) + 5r(7q - 12r)

6q(7q) + 6q(-12r) + 5r(7q) + 5r(-12r)

42q^2 - 72rq + 35rq - 60r^2

42q^2 + (-72rq + 35rq) - 60r^2

42q^2 + (-72 + 35)rq - 60r^2

42q^2 - 37rq - 60r^2

Final Answer: 42q^2 - 37rq - 60r^2
