You can't simplify more than just opening the brakcets
$6x^2-8xy$
You can't simplify more

Answer 2 · 2017-11-20T17:40:47

$2x(3x-4y)= 6x^2 - 8xy$

$6x^2 - 8xy$

You have to distribute $2x$ through each of the terms. Multiply $3x$ by $2x$ and then multiply $-4x$ by $2y$ .

$6x^2-8xy$

$color(blue)(2x) color(green)((3x-4y))$

Multiply everything inside the bracket by $color(blue)(2x)$

so first we have $color(blue)(2x) xx color(green)((+3x)) ->color(red)( 6x^2)$

so second we have $color(blue)(2x) xx color(green)((-4y)) ->color(red)( -8xy)$

Putting this all together

$color(red)( 6x^2-8xy )$
