Question

(2x+4)(x-2)
please help

Answer 1

2x squared - 8

Explanation:

For this kind of equation, we use the distributive property

So in the image below I used a box method (that's how I learned it in school)

So since -4x and 4x cancel each other out, or amount to 0, we don't put anything for those. So the equation left is 2x squared - 8
