Question

Show your work and simplify the expression (x – 2) (3x-4)

Answer 1

The answer is 3x^2-10x+8.

Answer 2

(x - 2)(3x - 4)

Remember F.O.I.L

First
Outside
Inside
Last

First: x * 3x = 3x^2

Outside: x * -4 = -4x

Inside: -2 * 3x = -6x

Last: -2 * -4 = 8

3x^2 - 4x -6x + 8

Now, combine like terms.

3x^2 - 10x + 8
