Simplify.
-4a(3a - 6)

First change the -6 to plus a negative 6.

Then distribute the -4a through the parentheses.

So we have -4a(3a) + -4a(-6).

Remember that -4a(3a) is -12a² and -4a(-6) is 24a.

So the answer is -12a² + 24a.

-12a^2 +24a

Step-by-step explanation:

-4a(3a - 6)

Distribute

-4a*3a -4a * -6

-12a^2 +24a

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
