Find the Product (2x-3)^2

${(2 x - 3)}^{2}$

Rewrite ${(2 x - 3)}^{2}$ as $(2 x - 3) (2 x - 3)$ .

$(2 x - 3) (2 x - 3)$

Expand $(2 x - 3) (2 x - 3)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x - 3) - 3 (2 x - 3)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x) + 2 x \cdot - 3 - 3 (2 x - 3)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x) + 2 x \cdot - 3 - 3 (2 x) - 3 \cdot - 3$

Simplify and combine like terms.
