You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%282x%2B3%29%2A%284x-9%29
distribute

example:
%28a%2Bb%29%28c%2Bd%29
when distributed is:
a%2Ac%2Ba%2Ad%2Bb%2Ac%2Bb%2Ad


%282x%2A4x%29%2B%282x%2A%28-9%29%29%2B%283%2A4x%29%2B%283%2A%28-9%29%29
8x%5E2-18x%2B12x-27
combine like terms
8x%5E2-6x-27

There is nothing else you can do so it is simplified.
