The answer is:

3x - x²

Work/explanation:

To simplify this expression, we will use the distributive property:


\sf{x(3-x)}

Distribute the x:


\sf{x\cdot3-x\cdot x}


\sf{3x-x^2}

Therefore, the answer is 3x - x².

Answer:

3x - x²

Explanation:

x(3 - x)

each term in the parenthesis is multiplied by the x outside. This is called the Distributive law

= (x × 3) + (x× - x)

= 3x + (- x²)

= 3x - x²
