How to expand (2x-3)2

To expand (2x-3)2, distribute each term across the other factor and combine like terms. The result is 4x − 6.

This is a algebraic expansion — we multiply out brackets and simplify. For binomials, the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) is commonly used.

Frequently asked questions

What is the answer to (2x-3)2?
