| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{3x-2}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 4x^2+4x-6\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{3x-2}\right) \cdot \left( 4x^2+4x-6\right) = 12x^3+12x^2-18x-8x^2-8x+12 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 12x^3+ \color{blue}{12x^2} \color{red}{-18x} \color{blue}{-8x^2} \color{red}{-8x} +12 = 12x^3+ \color{blue}{4x^2} \color{red}{-26x} +12 $$ |
