Take a number n. Write the expression for the product of the difference of the number increased by 10 and twice the number and the sum of seven times the number and two less than four times the number. Simplify.

((n + 10) - 2n)( 7n + (4n - 2))

= (10 - n) (11n - 2)

Acceptable answer: What is (10 - n)(11n - 2)?
