anonymous · Answer

(2x+3) (4x - 2)

anonymous · Answer

i got 12x +12-6

anonymous · Answer

multiply the first term in each parenthesis. then the outer terms together. then the inner then the last

anonymous · Answer

No thats not right

anonymous · Answer

I did 
2x* 4x= 8x
2x*2=4x

3*4=12
3*2=6

anonymous · Answer

then you combine like terms
8x + 4x= 12x

anonymous · Answer

the first numbers you multiplied both have a x. that mean that it will be x^2. so it is actually 8x^2

anonymous · Answer

Ohh ok

anonymous · Answer

so that changes everything. Then you have to remember that the 4 and the 3 both have a x  too.

anonymous · Answer

$$2x \times4x=8x ^{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$2x \times-2=-4x$$

anonymous · Answer

So you have 8x^2   4x   12x   6

correct?

anonymous · Answer

then combine (add) 4x and 12x?

anonymous · Answer

$$3x*4x=12x^2  and  3x*-2=-6x$$

anonymous · Answer

So the final answer is 8x^2+ 16x -6

anonymous · Answer

yeah thats right :)

anonymous · Answer

:D

anonymous · Answer

*high five* haha

anonymous · Answer

That isnt an answer :(

anonymous · Answer

8x2+ 8x – 6

       6x2 + 13x – 6

       6x2 – 5x – 6

       6x2 – 13x – 6

anonymous · Answer

oh we forgot that there are three numbers with x sorry. when we multiply 4x*3x it will be 12x^2 not 12x

anonymous · Answer

8x^2+ 8x -6
6x^2+ 13x-6
6x^2-5x-6
6x^2-13x-6

anonymous · Answer

So A? its the only one that is 8x^2

anonymous · Answer

wait there arent three numbers with x sorry i was confused. yeah its A

anonymous · Answer

Im not guessing I know its A. I just read the problem wrong. sorry for all of the confusion!
