Exercise 5 Page 86

Begin with the Distributive Property.

6a^2-5a-25

To simplify the given expression, we will use the Distributive Property.

(2a-5)(3a+5)

Distribute (3a+5)

2a(3a+5)-5(3a+5)

Distribute 2a

6a^2+10a-5(3a+5)

Distribute - 5

6a^2+10a-15a-25

Subtract terms

6a^2-5a-25

Since there are no more like terms, our expression cannot be simplified any further.
