Answer

$2x^2+xy-21y^2$

Work Step by Step

$$(x-3y)(2x+7y)$$ To multiply two binomials (expressions with two terms) multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial: $$=(x\times 2x)+(x\times 7y)+(-3y\times 2x)+(-3y\times 7y)$$ $$=2x^2+7xy-6xy-21y^2$$ Combine like terms: $$=2x^2+xy-21y^2$$
