Question 542537: I have a problem that asks me to simplify the algebraic expression.
3(x-1)(x+4)-2(3x-4)
I distributed out the 3 and -2 and then foiled them out and combined like terms but none of my answer choices match up to my answer! I need help please!
The answer choices are:
A. 3x^2 +9x -4
B. 3x^2 +3x -20
C. 3x^2 +3x -16
D. 3x^2 +3x -4 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
3(x-1)(x+4)-2(3x-4)
