You can’t simplify it? You solve it by combining like terms

18q^2-52q+32

\bf{Hey\ there!}\\ \bold{(2p-4)(9q-8)}\\ \bold{Distribute\downarrow}\\\bold{(2q-5)(9q-8)} \\ \bold{2q(9q)=18q^2}\\\bold{2q(-8)=-16q}\\\bold{-4(9q)=-36q}\\\bold{-4(-8)=32}


\bold{Combine\ like\ terms\downarrow}\\\bold{\bullet\ -16q+-36}


\bold{-16+-36=-52}


\bold{18q^2\ stays\ the\ same\ because\ it\ doesn't\ have\ a\ like\ terms}
\bold{\&}
\bold{32\ stays\ the\ same\ as\ well\ because\ it\ also\ doesn't\ have\ a\ like\ term\ as\ well}


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:18q^2-52+32}}}\checkmark


\bf{Good\ luck\ on\ your\ assignment\ and\ enjoy\ your\ day!}
