Answer:
[tex]x^2 - 2x - 8[/tex]
Step by step explanation:
Distribute the x as well as the -4
x * x = x^2
x * 2 = 2x
-4 * x = -4x
-4 * 2 = -8
Combine all the like terms, which means terms with the same variable or regular integers must be either added or subtracted amongst each other.
2x + -4x = -2x
The final answer after combining all the like terms is
x^2 - 2x - 8
