What is the expansion of ((2x-3)(x+5))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2x^2+7x-15)

The direct answer is option A: \(2x^2+7x-15\). Use distribution and write all four products: \(2x\cdot x=2x^2\), \(2x\cdot5=10x\), \((-3)\cdot x=-3x\), and \((-3)\cdot5=-15\). Combining the middle terms gives \(10x-3x=7x\), so the expansion is \(2x^2+7x-15\). Option A is correct. Option B includes \(10x\) but forgets the other cross product \(-3x\). Option C incorrectly makes the middle term \(-13x\), usually from treating \(-3x\) and \(10x\) as both negative. Option D changes the constant product to \(+15\), although a negative number times a positive number is negative. Memory cue: in a binomial product, check two cross terms and the final sign separately.
