Or in other words, the answer is D

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Option (d)
`12a^3 +2a^2 + 23a + 18`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

`(3a+2)(4a^2-2a+9) \\ Simplify: \\ 3a(4a^2-2a+9) + 2(4a^2-2a+9) \\ 12a^3 - 6a^2 + 27a + 8a^2 - 4a +18 \\ 12a^3 +2a^2 + 23a + 18`

Hence the correct answer is: Option (d)
`12a^3 +2a^2 + 23a + 18`
