Multiply across the parenthesis and combine like terms
Explanation:
(x2)×(3x4)=x×(3x4)2(3x4)
x×(3x4)2(3x4)=3x24x6x+8
3x24x6x+8=3x210x+8

Explanation:
To multiply these two terms you multiply each individual term in the left parenthesis by each individual term in the right parenthesis.
(x-2)(3x-4) becomes:
(x×3x)(x×4)(2×3x)+(2×4)
3x24x6x+8
We can now combine like terms:
3x2+(46)x+8
3x2+(10)x+8
3x210x+8
