Question

Select the expression that is equivalent to the polynomial given below.

(4x + 3)(3x - 8)

a.) 12x2 - 23x - 24
b.) 12x2 + 41x + 24
c.) 12x2 - 23x + 24
d.) 12x2 - 41x - 24

which would be the best option?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(4x+3)(3x-8)`

Using distributive property we get

`4x(3x-8)+3(3x-8)`

Again use distributive property.

`4x(3x)+4x(-8)+3(3x)+3(-8)`

`12x^2-32x+9x-24`

Combine like terms.

`12x^2-23x-24`

Therefore the correct option is c.
