Hi, Hope I can help,

\n" ); document.write( "Can you please help me expand this set of numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "(3x-5)(2x+7)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To expand these numbers we will use a method called the FOIL method ( First, Inner, Outer, Last)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This is how, you multiply the numbers, and add them together
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28highlight+%283x%29-5%29%2A%28+highlight+%282x%29%2B7%29+=+F+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28highlight+%283x%29-5%29%2A%28++2x+%2B+highlight+%287%29%29+=+O+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3x+-+highlight+%285%29%29%2A%28+highlight+%282x%29+%2B++7%29+=+I+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3x+-+highlight+%285%29%29%2A%28++2x+%2B+highlight+%287%29%29+=+L+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that it is a negative 5, not positive( a minus sign in front of a number/variable means it is a negative number), and there is a positive 7( a plus sign, means it is a positive number)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the highlighted numbers in each equation
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283x%29%282x%29+=+6x%5E2+=+F+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283x%29%287%29+=+21x+=+O+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28-5%29%282x%29+=+-10x+=+I+\" ( Since it is a (-5))
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28-5%29%287%29+=+-35+=+L+\" ( Since it is a (-5))
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can now add our four answers together
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6x%5E2+%2B+21x+%2B+%28-10x%29+%2B+%28-35%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can add/subtract like terms( we will add the \"x's\" together)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "It will become
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6x%5E2+%2B+11x+%2B+%28-35%29+\" = \"+6x%5E2+%2B+11x+-+35+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6x%5E2+%2B+11x+-+35+\" is your answer, Remember (FOIL)(First, Inner, Outer, Last)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28highlight+%283x%29-5%29%2A%28+highlight+%282x%29%2B7%29+=+F+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28highlight+%283x%29-5%29%2A%28++2x+%2B+highlight+%287%29%29+=+O+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3x+-+highlight+%285%29%29%2A%28+highlight+%282x%29+%2B++7%29+=+I+\"

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6x%5E2+%2B+11x+-+35+\" is your answer
