Question

What is the product?

Answer 1

Answer: d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression written as product :

$3a(8a-6b)$

To simplify the above expression , we apply distributive property .

Distributive property :

$x(y+z)=xy+xz$ , where x , y and z are any real numbers.

Using distributive property , we get

$3a(8a-6b)=(3a)(8a)-(3a)(6b)\\\\=3\times8\ a\times a-3\times6\times a\times b\\\\=24a^2-18ab$

Therefore , the correct answer is d) $24a^2-18ab$

or d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b
