1) Simplifying this product, using the distributive property

(-3h -4)(4h-3)

-12h²+9h-16h+12

-12h²-7h +12

2) Inserting the table, or better making a similar one, multiplying the row by the column number:

_____|4h | -3 |

-3h | -12h² | 9h |

------------------------------

-4 | -16h | 12

------------------------------

-12h² +9h -16h +12

-12h² -7h +12

3) So the answer is -12h²-7h +12
