distribute $-3\left(-2x^{2}+4\
ight)$.

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\). Here, \(a = - 3\), \(b=-2x^{2}\) and \(c = 4\). So we multiply \(-3\) with each term inside the parentheses:
\(-3\times(-2x^{2})+(-3)\times4\)

Step2: Calculate each product

First, calculate \(-3\times(-2x^{2})\). The product of two negative numbers is positive, and \(3\times2 = 6\), so \(-3\times(-2x^{2})=6x^{2}\).
Then, calculate \((-3)\times4=-12\).
Combine these two results: \(6x^{2}-12\)

Answer:

\(6x^{2}-12\)
