This question practices expanding two negative number brackets.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Expand and simplify the expression (double brackets):} \\ (x - 8)(x - 12)\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 - 20x + 96 \) \( x^2 - 19x + 96 \) \( x^2 - 20x + 97 \) \( x^2 - 18x + 96 \)

Check your subtraction of x-terms carefully.
