Answer 2

6x² -36x +48

Explanation:

The terms in one factor are each multiplied by the terms in the other factor. The resulting partial products are then combined. (This works the same as for numerical "long" multiplication.)

(2x -8)(3x -6) = 2x(3x -6) -8(3x -6)

= 6x² -12x -24x +48 . . . . . . . form partial products

= 6x² -36x +48 . . . . . . . collect terms
