Answer

Fill the blanks with $4x,$ $7$, like

Work Step by Step

$(4x+7)(x^{2}+8x+3)$= ... distribute as $(A+B)C=AC+BC$ ... multiply each term of $x^{2}+8x+3$ with each term of $(4x+7)$ ... we start with $4x$ $=4x(x^{2}+8x+3) +...$ (unfinished) ... and then with $7$ $=4x(x^{2}+8x+3) +7(x^{2}+8x+3)$ ... distribute each parentheses as $A(B+C+D)=AB+AC+AD$ $=4x^{3}+32x^{2}+12x+7x^{2}+56x+21$ ... Now, combine like terms $=4x^{3}+(32x^{2}+7x^{2})+(12x+56x)+21$ $=4x^{3}+39x^{2}+68x+21$
