Question

simplify (x-2)(9x-8)-(3x-4)^2 @babalooo

Answer 1

my advise right at this moment is to expand everything

Answer 2

Okay, here some steps you can take
1) expand (x-2)(9x-8)=solution a
2) expand (3x-4)(3x-4)= solution b
3) solution a- solution b (remember to multiply the neg (-) sign into the signs of b)
4) End up with a final answer.

Answer 3

Did you expanded it yet?

Answer 4

Do you mean factor

Answer 5

He means that you have to multiply the (x-2) and (9x-8) and multiply (3x-4) by itself, then finally, you subtract the equation by the same degree ones

Answer 6

No. expand. the opposite of factor then Collect like terms

Answer 7

Just follow the multiplication equations I've described in step 1 and 2

Answer 8

You'll get
(x-2)(9x-8)-(3x-4)^2
=(x-2)(9x-8)-(3x-4)(3x-4)
=(9x^2-8x-18x+16)-(9x^2-12x-12x+16)
=(9x^2-26x+16)-(9x^2-24x+16)
=9x^2-26x+16-9x^2+24x-16
=-2x
-2x is the final answer...

Answer 9

Am I right ?? @babalooo
