Another way to write that problem is like:

(4c+6)(4c+6)

So if you know the FOIL method, this problem becomes a lot easier to solve. The FOIL method is: [F]irst [O]uter [I]nner [L]ast

Multiply the first terms from each of the parenthesis: 4c*4c=16c2
Next multiply the outer terms: 4c*6=24c
Then multiply the inner terms: 6*4c=24c
Finally multiply the last terms:6*6=36

Now add it all up: 16c^2+24c+24c+36

Combine like terms: 16c^2+48c+36
