Question

Accepted Answer

# Answer:
$8x^2 + 26x + 6$
# Explanation:
## Step1: Split binomial terms
Terms: $-2x, -6$; $-4x, -1$
## Step2: Fill box with products
|          | $-4x$       | $-1$        |
|----------|-------------|-------------|
| $-2x$    | $(-2x)(-4x)=8x^2$ | $(-2x)(-1)=2x$ |
| $-6$     | $(-6)(-4x)=24x$ | $(-6)(-1)=6$ |
## Step3: Sum all box terms
$8x^2 + 2x + 24x + 6$
## Step4: Combine like terms
$8x^2 + (2x+24x) + 6 = 8x^2 + 26x + 6$
