Question

(X-2)(3x-4) simplify

Answer 1

Answer:
`3x^2-10x+8`

Explanation:

Given the expression
`(x-2)(3x-4)`, you can apply Distributive property to simplify it. But first, you must remember the multiplication of signs:

`(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-`

Then:

`(x-2)(3x-4)=(x)(3x)+(x)(-4)+(-2)(3x)+(-2)(-4)=3x^2-4x-6x+8`

The final step is to add the like terms. Therefore, you get:

`3x^2-10x+8`

Answer 2

3x²-10x+8

Explanation:

To simplify the expression we need to multiply each term in the first bracket with the expression in the second bracket.

x(3x-4)-2(3x-4)

3x²-4x-6x+8

Executing the operations to give a quadratic expression we get:

3x²-10x+8

The simplified expression is therefore

3x²-10x+8
