| ① | Find $ \left(3x-2\right)^2 $ using formula. $$ (A - B)^2 = \color{blue}{A^2} - 2 \cdot A \cdot B + \color{red}{B^2} $$where $ A = \color{blue}{ 3x } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 2 }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(3x-2\right)^2 = \color{blue}{\left( 3x \right)^2} -2 \cdot 3x \cdot 2 + \color{red}{2^2} = 9x^2-12x+4\end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 9x^2-12x+4 \right) = -9x^2+12x-4 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{x} -9x^2+ \color{blue}{12x} -4 = -9x^2+ \color{blue}{13x} -4 $$ |
