The multiplication of two terms and can be solved by FOIL's method.

First multiply 5x of first term to 4x of second term gives 20x².

Multiply 5x of first term to -1 of second term gives -5x.

Multiply -2 of first term to 4x of second term gives -8x.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
