Question

What is the product of the binomials (3x+1) (2x-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

6x^2 -10x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to solve this. For this problem I will use the FOIL method.

F - first

O - outer

I - inner

L - last

Multiply the first term in each parenthesis ---> 6x^2

Multiply the outer terms in each parenthesis ---> -12x

Multiply the inner terms in each parenthesis ---> 2x

Multiply the last terms in each parenthesis ---> -4

Combine these together:

6x^2 -12x + 2x - 4

Combine like terms:

6x^2 -10x - 4

^ And that is our final answer!

Answer 2

Answer:

$6x^{2} -10x - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x^{2} - 12x + 2x -4$

$6x^{2} -10x - 4$
