Apply Distributive Property: First, we'll use the distributive property (FOIL method) to multiply the two binomials.(5+7)(2+5)=5⋅2+5⋅5+7⋅2+7⋅5
Multiply Terms: Now, let's multiply the terms.5×2=10, 5×5=55, 7×2=27, and 7×5=35So, (5+7)(2+5)=10+55+27+35
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms if there are any; in this case, there are no like terms to combine.So the expression is already simplified.10+55+27+35 is the final answer.
