Answer 1

Answer:

2x*-6x+2x*6-4*(-6x)-4*6

12x^2+12x+24x-24

12x^2+12x - 576

Answer 2

Given:

• (2x-4)-(6x+6)

To Find:

• Simplify the above equation.

Solution:

• The given equation can be simplified using basic algebraic operations('+','-','*','/')
• The given equation is in polynomial form.
• So,
• ⇒(2x-4)-(6x+6)
• Removing the brackets, we get
• ⇒2x-4-6x-6
• Considering the like terms to one side, we get
• ⇒2x-6x-4-6
• ⇒-4x-10
• Taking common factors out, we get
• ⇒2(-2x-5), Simplified form.
• Since it is polynomial, we can equate it to another variable say 'y'.
• y = 2(-2x-5)

∴ y = 2(-2x-5)
