You would solve this by the FOIL method;
First; Outside; Inside; Last;
Multiply accordingly;
(3w+7)(2w-5)
3w(2w)-3w(5)+7(2w)-7(5)
6w%5E2-15w+14w-35
6w%5E2-w-35

Use the foil method:
(3w+7)(2w-5)=
(F) 3w*2w=6w^2
(O) 3w*-5+=-15w
(I) 7*2w= 14w
(L) 7*-5=-35 so
6w^2-15w+14w-35
combine like terms
6w^2-w-35
