For this case we must simplify the following expression:


(2x-9) (x + 6)

Applying distributive property that states that:


(a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

We have:


2x * x + 2x * 6-9 * x-9 * 6 =

For multiplication of powers of the same base, we place the same base and add the exponents:


2x ^ 2 + 12x-9x-54 =

We add similar terms:


2x ^ 2 + 3x-54

Answer:


2x ^ 2 + 3x-54
