Question

What is the product of 6x – y and 2x – y + 2?

Answer 1

(6x - y)(2x - y + 2)

Use the distributive law - first multiply the second parentheses by 6x then by -y and simplify like terms

= 12x^2 - 6xy + 12x -2xy + y^2 - 2y

= 12x^2 + y^2 - 8xy + 12x - 2y

Answer 2

(6x - y)(2x - y + 2) =
12x² - 6xy + 12x - 2xy + y² - 2y =
12x² + y² - 8xy + 12x - 2y ← Answer
