We are to multiply
[tex](9x-2)(3x-8)[/tex]
This is done as follows
[tex](9x-2)(3x-8)=9x(3x-8)-2(3x-8)[/tex]
By simplifying we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} (9x-2)(3x-8)=27x^2-72x-6x+16 \\ (9x-2)(3x-8)=27x^2-78x+16 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, in standard form we have the answer to be
[tex]27x^2-78x+16[/tex]
