Step 1.1

Apply the distributive property.

x (x + 2) - 6 (x + 2)

$x (x + 2) - 6 (x + 2)$

Step 1.2

Apply the distributive property.

x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 (x + 2)

$x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 (x + 2)$

Step 1.3

Apply the distributive property.

x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2

$x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2$

x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2

$x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2$

Step 2.1.1

Multiply

x

$x$ by

x

$x$ .

x^{2} + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2

$x^{2} + x \cdot 2 - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2$

Step 2.1.2

Move

2

$2$ to the left of

x

$x$ .

x^{2} + 2 \cdot x - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2

$x^{2} + 2 \cdot x - 6 x - 6 \cdot 2$

Step 2.1.3

Multiply

- 6

$- 6$ by

2

$2$ .

x^{2} + 2 x - 6 x - 12

$x^{2} + 2 x - 6 x - 12$

x^{2} + 2 x - 6 x - 12

$x^{2} + 2 x - 6 x - 12$

Step 2.2

Subtract

$6 x$ from

$2 x$ .

$x^{2} - 4 x - 12$

$x^{2} - 4 x - 12$

$[\begin{array}{c} x^{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \sqrt{π} & \int x d x \end{array}]$
