Explanation Procedure used: “ To multiply two polynomials: Step 1: Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first polynomial times the entire second polynomial. Step 2: Combine the like terms.” Formula used: Distributive property: ( a + b ) ( c + d + e ) = a ( c + d + e ) + b ( c + d + e ) Calculation: The given expression is, ( x − 7 ) ( x 2 − 5 x + 2 ) . Use the distributive property to obtain the value of the expression ( x − 7 ) ( x 2 − 5 x + 2 ) as follows

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
