Question

Simplify the given polynomial expressions as much as possible.


(3x - 6)(8x + 2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Remark

All you can really do is remove the brackets. Use FOIL

Solution

First: 3x*8x = 24^2

Outside: 2* 3x = 6x

Inside: -6*8x = - 48x

Last: -6*2 = - 12

Answer

24x^2 + 6x - 48x - 12

24x^2 - 42x - 12
