Problem DescriptionThe problem asks to expand the expression (x−2y)(x−7y)(x-2y)(x-7y)(x−2y)(x−7y).2. Solution StepsWe will use the distributive property (also known as FOIL) to expand the expression:(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(x−2y)(x−7y)=x(x)+x(−7y)+(−2y)(x)+(−2y)(−7y)(x - 2y)(x - 7y) = x(x) + x(-7y) + (-2y)(x) + (-2y)(-7y)(x−2y)(x−7y)=x(x)+x(−7y)+(−2y)(x)+(−2y)(−7y)=x2−7xy−2xy+14y2= x^2 - 7xy - 2xy + 14y^2=x2−7xy−2xy+14y2=x2−9xy+14y2= x^2 - 9xy + 14y^2=x2−9xy+14y23. Final Answerx2−9xy+14y2x^2 - 9xy + 14y^2x2−9xy+14y2
