Question: 1 / 400

What is the result of the multiplication (2x - 4)(x - 3)?

2x² - 10x + 12

To find the result of the multiplication \( (2x - 4)(x - 3) \), we need to apply the distributive property, also known as the FOIL method when dealing with binomials. This involves multiplying each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial.

1. **First Term:** Multiply the first terms: \( 2x \times x = 2x^2 \).

2. **Outer Term:** Multiply the outer terms: \( 2x \times -3 = -6x \).

3. **Inner Term:** Multiply the inner terms: \( -4 \times x = -4x \).

4. **Last Term:** Multiply the last terms: \( -4 \times -3 = 12 \).

Next, we combine all these results together:

\[

2x^2 - 6x - 4x + 12.

\]

Now, combine like terms. The terms \(-6x\) and \(-4x\) sum to \(-10x\):

\[

2x^2 - 10x + 12.

\]

This final expression, \( 2x^2 - 10x +
