Step 1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$10 x + 10 \cdot - 2 - 5 (x^{2} - 7 x) + x (3 x + 6)$

Step 1.2

Multiply $10$ by $- 2$ .

$10 x - 20 - 5 (x^{2} - 7 x) + x (3 x + 6)$

Step 1.3

Apply the distributive property.

$10 x - 20 - 5 x^{2} - 5 (- 7 x) + x (3 x + 6)$

Step 1.4

Multiply $- 7$ by $- 5$ .

$10 x - 20 - 5 x^{2} + 35 x + x (3 x + 6)$

Step 1.5

Apply the distributive property.

$10 x - 20 - 5 x^{2} + 35 x + x (3 x) + x \cdot 6$

Step 1.6

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$10 x - 20 - 5 x^{2} + 35 x + 3 x \cdot x + x \cdot 6$

Step 1.7

Move $6$ to the left of $x$ .

$10 x - 20 - 5 x^{2} + 35 x + 3 x \cdot x + 6 \cdot x$
