Starting with the expression:

[tex]9x(3x-8)[/tex]

Use the distributive property to expand the parenthesis:

[tex]=9x(3x)+9x(-8)[/tex]

Multiply the expressions in each term to eliminate both parenthesis:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =9x\cdot3x-9x\cdot8 \\ =9\cdot3\cdot x\cdot x-9\cdot8\cdot x \\ =27x^2-72x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]9x(3x-8)=27x^2-72x[/tex]
