Final answer to the problem
Step-by-step Solution
Specify the solving method
We can multiply the polynomials $\left(y+7\right)\left(y-4\right)$ by using the FOIL method. The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First ($F\times F$), Outer by Outer ($O\times O$), Inner by Inner ($I\times I$), Last by Last ($L\times L$)

$\begin{matrix}(F\times F)\:=\:(y)(y)\\(O\times O)\:=\:(y)(-4)\\(I\times I)\:=\:(7)(y)\\(L\times L)\:=\:(7)(-4)\end{matrix}$

The acronym F O I L stands for multiplying the terms in each bracket in the following order: First by First (F\times F), Outer by Outer (O\times O), Inner by Inner (I\times I), Last by Last (L\times L). Then, combine the four terms in a sum. Substitute the values of the products. Multiply 7 times -4.
