Answer: d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression written as product :
[tex]3a(8a-6b)[/tex]
To simplify the above expression , we apply distributive property .
Distributive property :
[tex]x(y+z)=xy+xz[/tex] , where x , y and z are any real numbers.
Using distributive property , we get
[tex]3a(8a-6b)=(3a)(8a)-(3a)(6b)\\\\=3\times8\ a\times a-3\times6\times a\times b\\\\=24a^2-18ab[/tex]
Therefore , the correct answer is d) [tex]24a^2-18ab[/tex]
or d) 24 a squared minus 18 a b
