| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( 3a+4\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( 3a+4\right) = 6a+8 $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{4} $ by $ \left( 2a-3\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{4} \cdot \left( 2a-3\right) = 8a-12 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{6a} + \color{red}{8} + \color{blue}{8a} \color{red}{-12} = \color{blue}{14a} \color{red}{-4} $$ |
