Question

simplify left bracket, 2, x, plus, 6, right bracket, left bracket, minus, 4, x, minus, 4, right bracket, .(2x+6)(−4x−4).

Answer 1

To simplify the expression (2x + 6)(-4x - 4), we can multiply the terms using the distributive property:

= 2x * -4x + 2x * -4 + 6 * -4x + 6 * -4
= -8x^2 - 8x - 24x - 24
= -8x^2 - 32x - 24
