Answer:
2x2−3x−2
Explanation:
Simplify
(x−2)(2x+1)
=(x+−2)(2x+1)
=(x)(2x)+(x)(1)+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(1)
=2x2+x−4x−2
2x² - 3x - 2
Given
(x - 2)(2x + 1)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
x(2x + 1) - 2(2x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 2x² + x - 4x - 2 ← collect like terms
= 2x² - 3x - 2
