Question

Find the product of (4x + 3y)(4x − 3y).

16x2 − 24xy + 9y2
16x2 − 9y2
16x2 + 24xy + 9y2
16x2 + 9y2

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 16x^2 - 9y^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option B is correct

`16x^2-9y^2`

Explanation:

The distributive property says that:

`a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c`

To find the product of (4x + 3y)(4x − 3y).

Distribute the first term of the first expression to the second expression and second term of the first expression to the second expression we have;

`4x(4x-3y)+3y(4x-3y)`

Apply the distributive property;

`16x^2-12xy+12xy-9y^2`

Combine like terms we have;

`16x^2-9y^2`

therefore, the product of (4x + 3y)(4x − 3y) is,
`16x^2-9y^2`
