$(-3x^2 + 2x - 6)(-2x - 4)$
correct! now write the simplified answer in the box below.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: List all terms from the table

$6x^3, -4x^2, 12x, 12x^2, -8x, 24$

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine $x^2$ terms:

$-4x^2 + 12x^2 = 8x^2$

Combine $x$ terms:

$12x - 8x = 4x$

Step3: Assemble simplified polynomial

$6x^3 + 8x^2 + 4x + 24$

Answer:

$6x^3 + 8x^2 + 4x + 24$
