%28-5a%5E2%29%28a%5E2-6a%2B7%29 Start with the given expression


%28-5a%5E2%29%2A%28a%5E2%29%2B%28-5a%5E2%29%2A%28-6a%29%2B%28-5a%5E2%29%2A%287%29 Distribute -5a%5E2 to a%5E2-6a%2B7


-5a%5E4%2B30a%5E3-35a%5E2 Multiply


So %28-5a%5E2%29%28a%5E2-6a%2B7%29 distributes to -5a%5E4%2B30a%5E3-35a%5E2.

In other words, %28-5a%5E2%29%28a%5E2-6a%2B7%29=-5a%5E4%2B30a%5E3-35a%5E2
