Answer:

a² + ab - 2b²

Explanation:

Given

(a - b)(a + 2b)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

a(a + 2b) - b(a + 2b) ← distribute both parenthesis

= a² + 2ab - ab - 2b² ← collect like terms

= a² + ab - 2b²

Answer:

ok lets do it..

Explanation:

You simply multiply out each factor.

So you start by multiplying the a in (a+b) to each term in (a−2b).

You will get a2−2ab as the first portion of the answer.

So now you will do the same with the b in (a+b).

Then you get −2b2+ab.

Now you add a2−2ab and −2b2+ab to get a2−2b2−ab .

i hope it will work....
