a. 25h^2 – 55h 30

b. 25h^2 5h – 30

c. 25h^2 55h 30

d. 25h^2 – 5h – 30

Answer 1

The correct result would be a. 25h^2 – 55h + 30.

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you would like to simplify the product using the distributive property, you can do this using the following steps:

(5h – 5) * (5h – 6) = 5h * 5h - 5h * 6 - 5 * 5h + 5 * 6 = 25h^2 - 30h - 25h + 30 = 25h^2 - 55h + 30

The correct result would be a. 25h^2 – 55h + 30.
