Question

Simplify (4x-2) x (3x+2)

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`(4x-2)*(3x+2)`

To simplify, we multiply the terms in the second parentheses by each term in the first parentheses.

Thus, we have

`\begin{gathered} 4x(3x+2)-2(3x+2) \\ =12x^2+8x-6x-4 \\ =12x^2+2x-4 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the expression is simplified to be

`12x^2+2x-4`
