Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the two binomials to be multiplied: (4x + 7) and (-x + 6).
Apply the FOIL method, which stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last, to multiply the binomials.
First: Multiply the first terms of each binomial: 4x * (-x) = -4x^2.
Outer: Multiply the outer terms: 4x * 6 = 24x.
Inner: Multiply the inner terms: 7 * (-x) = -7x.
Last: Multiply the last terms: 7 * 6 = 42.
Combine all the products: -4x^2 + 24x - 7x + 42.
Simplify by combining like terms: -4x^2 + (24x - 7x) + 42.
The simplified expression is: -4x^2 + 17x + 42.
