① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{4} $ by $ \left( 5x^2-9x+7\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{4} \cdot \left( 5x^2-9x+7\right) = 20x^2-36x+28 $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( -10x^2+18x-13\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( -10x^2+18x-13\right) = -20x^2+36x-26 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{20x^2}} \, \, \color{green}{ -\cancel{36x}} \,+ \color{blue}{28} \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{20x^2}} \,+ \, \color{green}{ \cancel{36x}} \, \color{blue}{-26} = \color{blue}{2} $$ |
