Find the product:(3m – 4n) (2m – 3n)

Answer»

(3m – 4n) (2m – 3n)

Suppose (a – b) and (c – d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below.

(a – b) × (c – d) = a × (c – d) – b × (c – d) = (a × c – a × d) – (b × c – b × d)

= ac – ad – bc + bd

Let,

a= 3m, b= 4n, c= 2m, d= 3n

Now,

= 3m × (2m – 3n) -4n × (2m – 3n)

= [(3m × 2m) + (3m × -3n)] – [(4n × 2m) + (4n × -3n)]

= [6m2 – 9mn – 8mn + 12n2]

= [6m2 – 17mn + 12n2]
