Answer:
The answer in simplest form is 2x^2 +12x -32
Answer:
2x² + 12x - 32
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 8)(2x - 4)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
x(2x - 4) + 8(2x - 4) ← distribute parenthesis
= 2x² - 4x + 16x - 32 ← collect like terms
= 2x² + 12x - 32
