6x^2(3x+4y-2)

Explanation:

First, we will look at the right side of this equation, which is
[(3x-4)+(4y+2)]
The first step is to remove the parentheses/brackets. (a) -> a
If we remove the parentheses/brackets, the equation will be
3x-4+4y+2.
Now we will group like terms.
3x+4y+color(blue)2color(blue)-color(blue)4.
We will solve the blue part.
2-4=-2
We can replace 2-4 with -2, then.
So the equation will be 3x+4y-2. Now you are done.
Just stick it with 6x^2 and you are really done.
(Make sure you put brackets/parentheses)
Final answer: 6x^2 stick with (3x+4y-2)
which is
6x^2(3x+4y-2)
