| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{36} $ by $ \left( x-7\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{36} \cdot \left( x-7\right) = 36x-252 $$ |
| ② | Multiply $36x-252$ by $ \dfrac{3x-2}{6} $ to get $ \dfrac{108x^2-828x+504}{6} $. Step 1: Write $ 36x-252 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 36x-252 \cdot \frac{3x-2}{6} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{36x-252}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{3x-2}{6} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( 36x-252 \right) \cdot \left( 3x-2 \right) }{ 1 \cdot 6 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 108x^2-72x-756x+504 }{ 6 } = \frac{108x^2-828x+504}{6} \end{aligned} $$ |
