Multiply the polynomials. (x-6)(x^2+2x-4)

x³ - 4x² - 16x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x² + 2x - 4) - 6(x² + 2x - 4) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x³ + 2x² - 4x - 6x² - 12x + 24 ← collect like terms

= x³ - 4x² - 16x + 24

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years
