Question

Miltiply and simplify (6x - 1)(2x +3)

Answer 1

Answer: 12
`x^(2)` +16x -3

Explanation:

Multiply the numbers by applying the distributive property twice.

2x(6x -1) = 12x^2 - 2x

3( 6x -1) = 18x - 3

Now put them together.

12
`x^(2)`- 2x + 18x -3 Combine likes terms

12
`x^(2)` +16x - 3

Answer 2

`\Huge \boxed{12x^2 +16x-3}`

Explanation:

`(6x - 1)(2x +3)`

Expand brackets using the FOIL method.

`6x(2x +3)-1(2x+3)`

`12x^2 +18x-2x-3`

Combine like terms.

`12x^2 +16x-3`
