| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{4x+3}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 3x+4\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{4x+3}\right) \cdot \left( 3x+4\right) = 12x^2+16x+9x+12 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 12x^2+ \color{blue}{16x} + \color{blue}{9x} +12 = 12x^2+ \color{blue}{25x} +12 $$ |
