$$ \begin{aligned}-8i\cdot(12-i)& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}-(96i-8i^2) \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ }-(96i+8) \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}-96i-8\end{aligned} $$ | |
① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{8i} $ by $ \left( 12-i\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{8i} \cdot \left( 12-i\right) = 96i-8i^2 $$ |
② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left(96i+8 \right) = -96i-8 $$ |
