----------------------
top::::: (x^2::::::-7x::::+3)
bottom:::(6x^2:::::+4x::::-8)
-------------------------------------
Multiply each term of "top" by 6x^2 to get:
:::::::::6x^4:::::::-42x^3::::::::+18x^2
---
Multiply each term of "top" by 4x to get:
::::::::::::::::::::+4x^3:::::::::-28x^2::::::+12x
---
Multiply each term of "top" by -8 to get:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-8x^2:::::::-56x::::::-24
===============================================================
I have tried to put all "like" terms in the same column so add the terms
in each column to get the final answer:
:::::::::6x^4:::::::-38x^3::::::::-18x^2::::::-44x::::::-24

====================================================================
Cheers,
