Answer

FOIL method $\left( 3x+5 \right)\left( 2x-5 \right)=6{{x}^{2}}-5x-25$.

Work Step by Step

The steps involved in multiplication of binomials by FOIL method are: Consider an example, $\left( 3x+5 \right)\left( 2x-5 \right)$. Step 1:Multiply the first term of each binomial together as: $3x\times 2x=6{{x}^{2}}$ Step 2: Multiply the outer terms together as: $\left( 3x \right)\left( -5 \right)=-15x$ Step 3: Multiply the inner terms together as: $5\left( 2x \right)=10x$ Step 4: Multiply the last term of each expression together as: $5\times -5=-25$ Step 5: List the four results of FOIL in order. $6{{x}^{2}}-15x+10x-25$ Step 6: Combine the like terms. $6{{x}^{2}}-5x-25$ By FOIL method $\left( 3x+5 \right)\left( 2x-5 \right)=6{{x}^{2}}-5x-25$.
