Answer:

6x³ + 24x² + 18x - 12

Explanation:

We require the product

(2x² + 4x - 2)(3x + 6)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x²(3x + 6) + 4x(3x + 6) - 2(3x + 6) ← distribute all parenthesis

= 6x³ + 12x² + 12x² + 24x - 6x - 12 ← collect like terms

= 6x³ + 24x² + 18x - 12
