We start with the expression \((5x - 2y)(3x + 4y)\). To expand it, we apply the distributive property (FOIL method):
\[ (5x)(3x) + (5x)(4y) + (-2y)(3x) + (-2y)(4y) \]
Calculating each term gives us:
\[ 15x^2 + 20xy - 6xy - 8y^2 \]
Now, we combine the like terms \(20xy\) and \(-6xy\):
\[ 15x^2 + (20xy - 6xy) - 8y^2 = 15x^2 + 14xy - 8y^2 \]
Thus, the expanded form of the expression \((5x - 2y)(3x + 4y)\) is:
\[ 15x^2 + 14xy - 8y^2 \]
\(\boxed{15x^2 + 14xy - 8y^2}\)
