c: 6x2 - 16x + 16
d: 6x2 - 6x - 16

Answer 1

i need help of how to solve this i close A before but the answer was wrong

Answer 2

Simplifying
(3x + -8)(2x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + 3x)(2x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + 3x)(-2 + 2x)

Multiply (-8 + 3x) * (-2 + 2x)
(-8(-2 + 2x) + 3x * (-2 + 2x))
((-2 * -8 + 2x * -8) + 3x * (-2 + 2x))
((16 + -16x) + 3x * (-2 + 2x))
(16 + -16x + (-2 * 3x + 2x * 3x))
(16 + -16x + (-6x + 6x2))

Combine like terms: -16x + -6x = -22x
(16 + -22x + 6x2)
