Find the product. (3x − 8)3x

 

Algebra 2 HW that i'm struggling on

Answer 1

Hi Holden from Fort Pierce, FL. Hope you had a great day off from school.

I am here to help, however, I will not give you the answer. I will help you understand the learn how to solve these kind of problems so you will know how to solve them.

Here is you problem:    (3x − 8)3x    when we change it to  3x(3x − 8)

                      it is the same as  4 x 2  and 2 x 4  or (4)(2)  and  (2)(4)

                                            it will  be the same answer

                       Now all you will do next is multiply each of the values in 

                        your equation. So set up your equation like this:

                               (3x) times each of the values in (3x − 8)

                               the next step will look like this:

                                 (3x) times (3x)   and  (3x) times (8)

                        let's not forget the minus sign, so it will look like this 

                                          [(3x)(3x) - (3x)(8)]

                     Complete the multiplication and that will be the product

The rest is up to you.

Let me know if you need any more help.
