Answer 2

`36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x`

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method of multiplying binomials.

First term in each binomial:
`-2x * -4x = 8x^2`

Outside terms:
`-2x * -3 = 6x`

Inside terms:
`-9y^2 * -4x = 36xy^2`

Last term in each binomial:
`-9y^2 * -3 = 27y^2`

Now, rearrange the terms correctly.
`36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x`

This is our final answer, since it can not be simplified any more.
