A) 9a2 – 4

B) 9a2 – 12a + 4

C) 6a2– 12a + 4

D) 92a – 5 + 4

Answer 1

Hey!


To solve this equation, we'd first have to apply the distributing rule to this equation.

Original Equation :

`( 3a - 2 )^(2)`

New Equation {Changed by Applying the Distribution Rule} :

`( 3a )^(2) - 2` · 3a · 2 +
`2 ^(2)`

And now we simplify.

Old Equation :

`( 3a ) ^(2) -2` · 3a · 2 +
`2 ^(2)`

New Equation {Old Equation Simplified} :

`9a ^(2)` - 12a + 4

So, the equation
`(3a - 2) ^(2)` simplified is
`9a ^(2)` - 12a + 4.

Hope this helps!
