use FOIL (first, outside, inside last)
4a * 3a = 12a²
4a * -8 = -32a
-6 * 3a = -18a
-6 * -8 = 48
-12a² - 32a - 18a + 48
combine like-terms: -12a² -50a + 48
Answer:The solution is in the attached file
Step-by-step explanation:
To organize the expressions according to the number of terms, you should understand what a term is. A term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or − signs. It is organized as follows:
2x2y + x2 - 3x + 4
3x + y + z
x + 2xyz
9x2yz
Let's separate this problem into several parts:
1. The product of x
AND
2. The sum of 6 and 8
TIMES
3. The square of x
So translating this word problem into numbers, we have:
x TIMES (6+8) TIMES x²
so that is:
x * 14 * x²
which is:
14x^(2+1) = 14x³
