Question

Multiply.(9x−2)(3x−8) Enter your answer, in standard form, in the box.$\text{Basic}$

Answer 1

We are to multiply

`(9x-2)(3x-8)`

This is done as follows

`(9x-2)(3x-8)=9x(3x-8)-2(3x-8)`

By simplifying we get

`\begin{gathered} (9x-2)(3x-8)=27x^2-72x-6x+16 \\ (9x-2)(3x-8)=27x^2-78x+16 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in standard form we have the answer to be

`27x^2-78x+16`
