do you understand how u got it :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I will post the other question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no I just guess I just look at the problem then look at the answer and got that
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
ok so first we distribute 3a over 4a2-5a+12
3a(4a2−5a+12)=3a(4a2)+3a(−5a)+3a X 12

whats next ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so we get 12a + (-15a) + 3a X 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it will be 12a - 15a + 36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12a2 I mean
jagr2713 (jagr2713):

I am multiply them
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
ok we get
\[3\times4aa ^{2}-5\times3aa+3\times12a\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Then we multiply 3 and 12a
\[3\times12=36\]
so we get
\[3\times4aa ^{2}-5\times3aa+36a\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

jagr2713 (jagr2713):
so next combine like terms
\[3a(-5)a=3a ^{2}(-5)\] an get
\[3\times4aa ^{2}+(-5\times3a ^{2})+36a\]
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
so whats next
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12a3 - 15a2 + 36a
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
if you understand it tell me so i dont have to keep on explaining :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay I do it just sometime I am really don't understand this kind of math
