To determine

The product of the given expression.

Answer to Problem 8PR

The product is $m^2-7m+10$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given expression is:

  $(m-2)(m-5)$ .

Calculation:

The given expression is:

  $(m-2)(m-5)$ .

By multiplying the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}(m-2)(m-5)\\ =m(m-5)-2(m-5)\\ =m^2-5m-2m+10\\ =m^2-7m+10\end{array}$

  $\therefore$ The product is $m^2-7m+10$ .
