choice showing the correct distribution.
A. (x-2)(3x) + (x − 2)(4)
B. (x-2)(3x) + (3x)(4)
O C. (x) (3x) + 4(x) + 3x+4
OD. (x)(3x + 4) + (x - 2)

Answer 1

To multiply (x-2)(3x + 4), use the distributive property to distribute each term of the first expression to each term of the second expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply (x-2)(3x + 4) using the distributive property, we need to distribute each term of the first expression to each term of the second expression.

Using the distributive property, we get (x-2)(3x + 4) = x(3x + 4) - 2(3x + 4)

Simplifying further, we get: 3x^2 + 4x - 6x - 8 = 3x^2 - 2x - 8
