Answer:
2x² - 14x + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last).
First, multiply the first term of both parenthesis:
2x * x = 2x²
Next, multiply the outside terms of both parenthesis:
2x * -4 = -8x
Then, multiply the inside terms of both parenthesis:
-6 * x = -6x
Finally, multiply the last terms of both parenthesis:
-6 * -4 = 24
Combine like terms:
2x² - 8x - 6x + 24
2x² (-8x - 6x) + 24
2x² (-14x) + 24
2x² - 14x + 24 is your answer.

Answer:
C; None of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pretend x=1, y=0, and z=2.
You have to match an answer to 1+0-2 (equals to -1).
The first equation would be 2+0+1. When you add them all together you get 3, and that isn't equivalent to -1, so therefore this one is not the answer.
The second equation becomes 1+2+0, and when you solve for the answer, you see that the answer is also 3, and so we can conclude that neither A or B matches with the equation above, so the answer is C, None of the above.
