Question

simplify (3x-4)(4x+2)​

Answer 1

Following are the steps for getting the answer:

Given:

(3x-4)(4x+2)​

To find:

simplify (3x-4)(4x+2)​

Solution:

we have to simplify the given expression

so we will multiply the second bracket by the variable of first

=(3x-4)(4x+2)​

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

=12x²+6x-16x-8

= 12x²-10x-8

now take out the 2 as common

we get,

=2(6x²-5x-4)

thus, the equation is in the form of a quadratic equation.

Hence, the simplification of  (3x-4)(4x+2)​ is 2(6x²-5x-4)

Answer 2

Given,

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

We have to simplify the given

• By using distribution property of multiplication
• Distribution property of multiplication: It states that multiplying two factors together gives the same result as breaking one factor up into two addends, multiplying both addends with the remaining factor, then adding both products together.

Now,

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

$= 3x(4x+2)-4(4x+2)$

$= 12x^{2} +6x-16x-8$

$=12x^{2} -10x-8$

Therefore, the answer is $12x^{2} -10x-8$.
