Answer:
The "middle" term is 11x.
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x + 5)(4x - 3)
Solve this by using FOIL: first – outer – inner – last
F: 3x • 4x = 12x²
O: 3x • -3 = -9x
I: 5 • 4x = 20x
L: 5 • -3 = -15
Combine the terms.
12x² - 9x + 20x - 15
Combine like terms.
12x² + 11x - 15
The "middle" term is 11x.
Hope this helps!
