Question

2. What is the simplified form of (3x + 2)(4x – 3)? Use a table.

12x^2 + 18x + 6
12x^2 + x – 6
12x^2 + 18x – 6
12x^2 – x – 6

Answer 1

(3x + 2)(4x – 3)
3x times 4x =12x^2
3x times -3 =-9x
2 times 4x = 8x
2 times -3 =-6

so now you have:
12x^2-9x+8x-6

then now you combine like terms

-9 +8 = -x

so thus you anwser is:
12x^2-x-6

Answer 2

12x^2 – x – 6
