Multiply [tex]\((5x + 2)(7x + 3)\)[/tex].

A. [tex]35x + 7[/tex]

B. [tex]35x^2 + 29x + 6[/tex]

C. [tex]35x^2 + 6[/tex]

D. [tex]35x^2 + 14x + 6[/tex]

Answer :

To multiply the binomials [tex]\((5x + 2)(7x + 3)\)[/tex], let's go through the steps using the distributive property, also known as the FOIL method:

1. First: Multiply the first terms in each binomial:
[tex]\[
5x \times 7x = 35x^2
\][/tex]

2. Outer: Multiply the outer terms in the product:
[tex]\[
5x \times 3 = 15x
\][/tex]

3. Inner: Multiply the inner terms in the product:
[tex]\[
2 \times 7x = 14x
\][/tex]

4. Last: Multiply the last terms in each binomial:
[tex]\[
2 \times 3 = 6
\][/tex]

Next, we combine all these results into a single polynomial expression:

- The result from the first terms is [tex]\(35x^2\)[/tex].
- Add the results from the outer and inner terms to get the combined linear term:
[tex]\[
15x + 14x = 29x
\][/tex]
- The result from the last terms is [tex]\(6\)[/tex].

So, when you combine all these, the final product of [tex]\((5x + 2)(7x + 3)\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[
35x^2 + 29x + 6
\][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is [tex]\(35x^2 + 29x + 6\)[/tex].
