Math Problem Statement

(4n–3)(3n–2)

Solution

To simplify the expression (4n3)(3n2)(4n - 3)(3n - 2), we apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

(4n3)(3n2)=4n(3n)+4n(2)+(3)(3n)+(3)(2)(4n - 3)(3n - 2) = 4n(3n) + 4n(-2) + (-3)(3n) + (-3)(-2)

Now simplify each term:

  1. 4n×3n=12n24n \times 3n = 12n^2
  2. 4n×2=8n4n \times -2 = -8n
  3. 3×3n=9n-3 \times 3n = -9n
  4. 3×2=6-3 \times -2 = 6

Now, combine all these terms: 12n28n9n+612n^2 - 8n - 9n + 6

Combine the like terms 8n9n-8n - 9n: 12n217n+612n^2 - 17n + 6

So, the simplified expression is: 12n217n+612n^2 - 17n + 6
