Answer 1

Answer:

6x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x•2= 6x

-2•2=-4

Answer 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:  $\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 12x + 4}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:  $\textsf{(3x - 2)}^2$

Find: $\textsf{Simplify the expression}$

Solution:  It looks like 2 is at the end of the parenthesis where the power would be instead of distributing the number.  If so the following steps would be followed.

Expand

• $\textsf{(3x - 2)}^2$

• $\textsf{(3x - 2)(3x - 2)}$

• $\textsf{(3x * 3x) + (3x * (-2)) + (3x * (-2)) + (-2 * (-2))}$

Simplify

• $\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 6x - 6x + 4}$

• $\textsf{9x}^2\textsf{ - 12x + 4}$

Therefore, after following the provided information we are able to determine that the expanded form would be 9x^2 - 12x + 4.
