Question

Expand and simplify (x-2)(2x+4)

Answer 1

2x² - 8

Explanation:

Given

(x - 2)(2x + 4)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x + 4) - 2(2x + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 4x - 4x - 8 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - 8

Answer 2

`2 {x}^(2) - 8`
