= color(blue)(3x^2y + 4y^2 +9x^2 + 14y + 6

Explanation:

(3x^2+4y+2)color(blue)((y+3)

  • Multiply color(blue)(y) with each of the three terms of the first bracket:

= (3x^2 . color(blue)(y)) + (4y .color(blue)(y)) + (2 . color(blue)(y))

= color(blue)(3x^2y + 4y^2 + 2y..........(1)

  • Multiply color(blue)(3) with each of the three terms of the first bracket:
    = (3x^2 . color(blue)(3)) + (4y .color(blue)(3)) + (2 . color(blue)(3))

= color(blue)(9x^2 + 12y + 6...... (2)

combining 1 and 2
= color(blue)(3x^2y + 4y^2 +9x^2 + 14y + 6
