Question

How do you multiply 6a(a2+2ab+b2)?

Answer 1

Step by step explanation :

$6a \times (a \times 2 + 2ab + b \times 2)$

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms.

$= > 6a \times (2a + 2ab + 2b)$

Multiply each term in the parenthesis by 6a

$= > 6a \times 2a + 6a \times 2ab + 6a \times 2b$

Calculate the product

$= > 12a {}^{2} + 12a {}^{2} b + 12ab$
