Steps to expand \((2x + 3)(x - 5)\) using the FOIL method
1️⃣ Multiply the First terms: \(2x \times x = 2x^2\)
2️⃣ Multiply the Outer terms: \(2x \times -5 = -10x\)
3️⃣ Multiply the Inner terms: \(3 \times x = 3x\)
4️⃣ Multiply the Last terms: \(3 \times -5 = -15\)
5️⃣ Combine like terms: \(2x^2 - 10x + 3x - 15\)
6️⃣ Simplify: \(2x^2 - 7x - 15\)
