How do I Multiply, simplify, and write in descending order:

Step 1. Let's start with multiplying (t+4)(t+1) using the FOIL method: 1) Multiply the F-IRST Terms t*t, 2) Multiply the O-UTER terms t*1 3) Multiply the I-NNER terms 4*t and finally 4) Multiply the L-AST terms, 4*1 or

Step 2. Next we'll take the result of Sttep 1 given as and multiply . Take each term in and multiply by . Then simplify by adding like terms

Note: What we did here is similar to the steps in Step 1.

Step 3. ANSWER

I hope the above steps were helpful.
