Question 79070 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What is the product of 6x – y and 2x – y + 2?

Answer
A
8x2 – 4xy + 12x + y2 – 2y
B
12x2 – 8xy + 12x + y2 – 2y
C
8x2 + 4xy + 4x + y2 – 2y
D
12x2 + 8xy + 4x + y2 + 2y

Explanation

Distribute each term in 6x − y across 2x − y + 2: 6x gives 12x² − 6xy + 12x, and −y gives −2xy + y² − 2y. Combine the like terms −6xy and −2xy to get 12x² − 8xy + 12x + y² − 2y, which is choice B.
