Apply Distributive Property: First, we'll use the distributive property (FOIL method) to multiply these two binomials.(3+7)(4−13)=3⋅4+3⋅(−13)+7⋅4−7⋅13
Multiply Numbers: Now, let's multiply the numbers.3×4=123×(−13)=−3137×4=47−7×13=−7×13
Combine Calculated Terms: Next, we combine all the terms we've calculated. 12−313+47−7×13
Simplify Last Term: We simplify the last term, 7×13.−7×13=−91
Write Simplified Expression: Finally, we write down the simplified expression. 12−313+47−91
