Answer

$15x^2y^2+xy-2$

Work Step by Step

$$(3xy-1)(5xy+2)$$ To multiply two binomials (expressions with two terms) multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial: $$=(3xy\times 5xy)+(3xy\times 2)+(-1\times 5xy)+(-1\times 2)$$ $$=15x^2y^2+6xy-5xy-2$$ Combine like terms: $$=15x^2y^2+xy-2$$
