Question

use the box method to distribute and simplify $(-6x + 3)(-6x + 2)$. drag and drop terms to the correct locations of the table.
$(-6x + 3)(-6x + 2)$

	$-6x$	$2$
$3$	$-18x$	$6$

correct! now write the simplified answer in the box below.
answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like terms

The terms from the box method are \(36x^2\), \(-12x\), \(-18x\), and \(6\). The like terms are \(-12x\) and \(-18x\).

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine \(-12x\) and \(-18x\): \(-12x - 18x = -30x\).

Step3: Write the simplified expression

Now, combine the combined like terms with the other terms: \(36x^2 - 30x + 6\).

Answer:

\(36x^2 - 30x + 6\)
