Distribute First Term: question_prompt: What is the product of (5+2a)(3+7a) when simplified?
Distribute Second Term: Distribute the first term in the first binomial across the second binomial: 5∗(3+7a)=15+35a.
Add Results: Distribute the second term in the first binomial across the second binomial: 2a∗(3+7a)=6a+14a2.
Combine Like Terms: Add the results of the distribution together: (15+35a)+(6a+14a2).
Final Answer: Combine like terms: 15+35a+6a+14a2=15+41a+14a2.
Final Answer: Combine like terms: 15+35a+6a+14a2=15+41a+14a2. Write the final answer in standard form, starting with the highest power of a: 14a2+41a+15.
