a) 24 a squared minus 6 b
b) 24 a squared minus 6 a b
c) 24 a squared minus 18 b squared
d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b

Answer 1

d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b

Explanation:

The given expression written as product :

`3a(8a-6b)`

To simplify the above expression , we apply distributive property .

Distributive property :

`x(y+z)=xy+xz` , where x , y and z are any real numbers.

Using distributive property , we get

`3a(8a-6b)=(3a)(8a)-(3a)(6b)\\\\=3*8\ a* a-3*6* a* b\\\\=24a^2-18ab`

Therefore , the correct answer is d)
`24a^2-18ab`

or d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b
