Question

Simplify help pls: 13x(3x-32y)

Answer 1

`\boxed{39x^2-416xy}`

Explanation:

`13x(3x-32y)`

First step into solving the problem will be to apply the distributive law.

`13x(3x)+13x(-32y)`

Multiply the terms and simplify.

`39x^2 +-416xy`

Answer 2

`39x^2-416xy`

Explanation:

To simplify, we have to distribute the 13x to 3x and -32y. To distribute, we multiply 13x with the first number, and then the second.

`13x*3x=39x^2\\13x-32y=-416xy\\39x^2-416xy`

The first number is squared (
`39x^2`) because when two
`x`s get multiplied by each other, then it creates a square. We never do this:
`39xx`

Our answer is:

`39x^2-416xy`

Hope this helps!
