Question

HELPPPP ME ASAP PLEASEEE DO STEP BY STEPPPP Distribute and simplify the following: x(3x + 2)(-2x + 1)

Answer 1

-6x^3 - x^2 + 2x

Explanation:

We can first start with distributing the x using the distributive property

(3x^2 + 2x)(-2x+1) Remember that when x is multiplied with 3x, it increases the exponent to 3x^2)

Now we use FOIL to distribute (First, Outside, Inside, Last)

-6x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x^2 + 2x

We can combine the like terms (3x^2 and - 4x^2) into -x^2

-6x^3 - x^2 + 2x
