Question

Simplify.
-4a(3a - 6)

Answer 1

-12a^2 +24a

Explanation:

-4a(3a - 6)

Distribute

-4a*3a -4a * -6

-12a^2 +24a

Answer 2

First change the -6 to plus a negative 6.

Then distribute the -4a through the parentheses.

So we have -4a(3a) + -4a(-6).

Remember that -4a(3a) is -12a² and -4a(-6) is 24a.

So the answer is -12a² + 24a.
