Answer:

12x²y² +2xy -2

The distributive property is used to multiply polynomials.

(3xy -1)(4xy +2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . given

= (3xy)(4xy +2) -1(4xy +2) . . . . multiply the 2nd by the terms of the 1st

= (12x²y² +6xy) +(-4xy -2) . . . . here are those products

= 12x²y² +2xy -2 . . . . . . . . . collect terms (6xy-4xy = 2xy)
