Answer:

D. 9x²-4

Explanation:

( 3x + 2 ) ( 3x - 2 )

3x * 3x = 9x^2

3x * -2 = -6x

2 * 3x = 6x

2 * -2 = -4

9x^2 - 6x + 6x - 4

9x^2 - 4

Answer:

D

Explanation:

(3x + 2)(3x - 2)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

3x(3x - 2) + 2(3x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= 9x² - 6x + 6x - 4 ← collect like terms

= 9x² - 4
