Question

Expand . ( 3x –2 ) 2 please help me with this.

Answer 1

6x-4

Explanation:

3x•2= 6x

-2•2=-4

Answer 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:
`\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 12x + 4}`

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
`\textsf{(3x - 2)}^2`

Find:
`\textsf{Simplify the expression}`

Solution: It looks like 2 is at the end of the parenthesis where the power would be instead of distributing the number. If so the following steps would be followed.

Expand

• 
  `\textsf{(3x - 2)}^2`

• 
  `\textsf{(3x - 2)(3x - 2)}`

• 
  `\textsf{(3x * 3x) + (3x * (-2)) + (3x * (-2)) + (-2 * (-2))}`

Simplify

• 
  `\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 6x - 6x + 4}`

• 
  `\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 12x + 4}`

Therefore, after following the provided information we are able to determine that the expanded form would be 9x^2 - 12x + 4.
