Answer 1

The expression -6n * (-12) * 4n is equivalent to 288n^2.

This correct answer is none of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression -6n * (-12) * 4n is equivalent to 288n^2.

To solve this problem, we can follow the order of operations which states that we should first perform the multiplication within the parentheses, then multiply the two resulting terms, and finally simplify the expression.

-6n * (-12) = 72n

72n * 4n = 288n^2

Therefore, the expression -6n * (-12) * 4n is equivalent to 288n^2.

This correct answer is none of the above.
