| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2x-7}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x+7\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2x-7}\right) \cdot \left( 2x+7\right) = 4x^2+ \cancel{14x} -\cancel{14x}-49 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 4x^2+ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{14x}} \, \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{14x}} \,-49 = 4x^2-49 $$ |
