Answer 1

Option C

-3(x² + 2x) + 4x(x + 3) – 3x

Explanation:

a.)

• -3(x² – 2x) + 4x(x + 3) – 12x

-3(x² – 2x) + 4x(x + 3) – 12x

-3x² + 6x + 4x² + 12x – 12x

4x² – 3x² + 6x + 12x – 12x

x² + 6x

Here, The answer is x² + 6x but our required answer is x² + 3x. So, option a is not the answer.

b.)

• 3(x² + 2x) – 4x(x – 3) + 3x

3(x² + 2x) – 4x(x – 3) + 3x

3x² + 6x – 4x² + 12x + 3x

3x² – 4x² + 12x + 3x + 6x

-x² + 21x

Here, The answer is -x² + 21x but our required answer is x² + 3x. So, option b is not the answer.

c.)

• -3(x² + 2x) + 4x(x + 3) – 3x

-3(x² + 2x) + 4x(x + 3) – 3x

-3x² – 6x + 4x² + 12x – 3x

4x² – 3x² – 6x + 12x – 3x

x² + 3x

Here, The answer is x² + 3x and our required answer is x² + 3x. So, option c is the answer.

Thus, The correct answer is option c.
