Multiply polynomial $ \, \color{blue}{ 3x-4 } \, $ by $ \, \color{orangered}{ 3x+8 }$.

$$ \left( \color{blue}{3x-4} \right) \cdot \left( \color{orangered}{3x+8} \right) = 9x^2+12x-32 $$

In this example we are multiplying two binomials so FOIL method can be used.

$$ \begin{aligned} \left( \color{blue}{ 3x-4}\right) \cdot \left( \color{orangered}{ 3x+8}\right) &= \underbrace{ \color{blue}{3x} \cdot \color{orangered}{3x} }_{\text{FIRST}} + \underbrace{ \color{blue}{3x} \cdot \color{orangered}{8} }_{\text{OUTER}} + \underbrace{ \left( \color{blue}{-4} \right) \cdot \color{orangered}{3x} }_{\text{INNER}} + \underbrace{ \left( \color{blue}{-4} \right) \cdot \color{orangered}{8} }_{\text{LAST}} = \\ &= 9x^2 + 24x + \left( -12x\right) + \left( -32\right) = \\ &= 9x^2 + 24x + \left( -12x\right) + \left( -32\right) = \\ &= 9x^2+12x-32; \end{aligned} $$
