Answer: [tex]xy-9x-7y+63[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression: [tex] (x - 7)(y - 9)[/tex]
We know that the distributive property is given by :-
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex] [Left side]
[tex]OR\\\\(b+c)a=ba+ca[/tex] [Right side]
So applying the distributive property(Left sides) in the above expression, we get
[tex] (x - 7)y - (x - 7)9)[/tex]
Again applying the distributive property (Right side) in the above expression, we get
[tex]= xy - 7y- 9x +(7)(9)\\\\xy-9x-7y+63[/tex]
