① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( m-3\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( m-3\right) = 2m-6 $$ |
② | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2m-6}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( m-4\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2m-6}\right) \cdot \left( m-4\right) = 2m^2-8m-6m+24 $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ 2m^2 \color{blue}{-8m} \color{blue}{-6m} +24 = 2m^2 \color{blue}{-14m} +24 $$ |
