I have done this over and over and i am still sure it is A and B but the quiz i'm taking says it's not. Where am I going wrong? I figured a=-8x^2 b=12x c=-2x and d=3

am i nuts?

I would say B and C because they are like terms with only the variable x.

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

We are given a table which represents the multiplication of two binomials.

If we fill in the table and complete it by multiplying the given terms, we get:

-2x 3

4x A = -8x^2 B= 12x

1 C = -2x D = 3

So if we observe these products closely, we can notice that the terms in place of B and C are somewhat like terms as they both have the same variable x.

Therefore, the correct answer option is B and C.
