Howdy lol it’s 11:44pm over here where I’m at.
Basically expand
use FOIL (a way to remember distributive property)
first outer inner last
that is th eorder to multiply them
First: x times 2x=2x²
Outer: x tmes 9=9x
Inner: -8 times 2=-16x
last: -8 times 9=-72
add them
2x²+9x-16x-72
2x²-7x-72
the question is not clear.
See the attachment °_° I hope it helps :-)
