Explanation:
To solve this, we expand/distribute using FOIL:
As you can see in this image, the first thing we do is multiply the firsts:
aa=a2
Then the outers:
a*-6=-6a
Then the inners:
5*a=5a
and finally the lasts:
5*-6=-30
Now combine them all together:
a26a+5a30
We can still simplify the like terms.
a26a+5a30
Combine like terms and get the final answer:
a2a30

(a+5)(a-6)
a(a-6) +5(a-6)
Notice that the + sign followed the 5
a26a+5a30
but -6a+5a is the same as -a giving.
a2a30
