Use the FOIL method to find the product. Express the product in descending powers of the variable.
-$$( 8 x - 11 ) ( 4 x - 5 )$$
A) $12 x ^ { 2 } - 84 x - 84$
B) $32 x ^ { 2 } - 84 x - 84$
C) $12 x ^ { 2 } - 84 x + 55$
D) $32 x ^ { 2 } - 84 x + 55$

Using the FOIL method, the product is calculated as follows: First terms: $8x \cdot 4x = 32x^2$, Outer terms: $8x \cdot (-5) = -40x$, Inner terms: $-11 \cdot 4x = -44x$, Last terms: $-11 \cdot (-5) = 55$. Adding these together: $32x^2 - 40x - 44x + 55 = 32x^2 - 84x + 55$.

Use the FOIL Method to Find the Product (8x−11)(4x−5)( 8 x - 11 ) ( 4 x - 5 )(8x−11)(4x−5)
