Question

How do you simplify `-4( 3u ^ { 2} - 2u )`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`color(red)(-4)(3u^2 - 2u) =>`

`(color(red)(-4) xx 3u^2) - (color(red)(-4) xx 2u) =>`

`-12u^2 - (-8u) =>`

`-12u^2 + 8u`.
