Expand the expression (a-2)(3a-4)

 Exercise

$\left(a-2\right)\left(3a-4\right)$

 

Multiply the single term $3a-4$ by each term of the polynomial $\left(a-2\right)$

$a\left(3a-4\right)-2\left(3a-4\right)$

 

Multiply the single term $a$ by each term of the polynomial $\left(3a-4\right)$

$3a\cdot a-4a-2\left(3a-4\right)$

 

When multiplying two powers that have the same base ($a$), you can add the exponents

$3a^2-4a-2\left(3a-4\right)$

 

Multiply the single term $-2$ by each term of the polynomial $\left(3a-4\right)$

$3a^2-4a-6a+8$

 

Combining like terms $-4a$ and $-6a$

$3a^2-10a+8$

$3a^2-10a+8$
