The value of this answer is .B
To expand the given expression we proceed as follows:
(6x²-2x-6)(8x²+7x+8)
=6x²(8x²+7x+8)-2x(8x²+7x+8)-6(8x²+7x+8)
=48x⁴+42x³+48x²-16x³-14x²-16x-48x²-42x-48
putting like terms together:
48x⁴+(42x³-16x³)+(48x²-48x²)+(-16x-42x)-48
=48x⁴+26x³+0x²-58x-48
hence the answer is:
48x⁴+26x³-58x-48

Well, you can only combine the numbers with the variable (the x) in front of them, since there’s no other number on the left side of the equation to combine that lone number with
(example: 3x+2+5x; you can only add 3x and 5x together since 2 has no x).
So 3x and -2/9x would be your answer.
