① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{3} -x \color{blue}{-4} = -x \color{blue}{-1} $$ |
② | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{5-x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -x-1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{5-x}\right) \cdot \left( -x-1\right) = -5x-5+x^2+x $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{-5x} -5+x^2+ \color{blue}{x} = x^2 \color{blue}{-4x} -5 $$ |
④ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{6-x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x^2-4x-5\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{6-x}\right) \cdot \left( x^2-4x-5\right) = 6x^2-24x-30-x^3+4x^2+5x $$ |
⑤ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{6x^2} \color{red}{-24x} -30-x^3+ \color{blue}{4x^2} + \color{red}{5x} = -x^3+ \color{blue}{10x^2} \color{red}{-19x} -30 $$ |
⑥ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{1-x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -x^3+10x^2-19x-30\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{1-x}\right) \cdot \left( -x^3+10x^2-19x-30\right) = -x^3+10x^2-19x-30+x^4-10x^3+19x^2+30x $$ |
